SiC substrate material is the core of SiC chip. The production process of the substrate is: after obtaining the SiC crystal ingot through single crystal growth; then preparing the SiC substrate requires smoothing, rounding, cutting, grinding (thinning); mechanical polishing, chemical mechanical polishing; and cleaning, testing, etc. Process

The history of silicon carbide (SiC) dates back to 1891, when Edward Goodrich Acheson accidentally discovered it while attempting to synthesize artificial diamonds. Acheson heated a mixture of clay (aluminosilicate) and powdered coke (carbon) in an electric furnace. Instead of the expected diamonds, he obtained a bright green crystal adhering to the carbon. This crystal had a hardness second only to diamond, and was thus named carborundum. In 1904, French-Jewish chemist Henri Moissan discovered rare natural silicon carbide minerals while studying meteorite samples from the Diablo Canyon in Arizona, USA. He named these minerals moissanite, and his discovery earned him the 1906 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The first generation of semiconductor materials is mainly represented by silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), which began to rise in the 1950s. Germanium was dominant in the early days and was mainly used in low-voltage, low-frequency, medium-power transistors and photodetectors, but due to its poor high temperature resistance and radiation resistance, it was gradually replaced by silicon devices in the late 1960s. Silicon is still the main semiconductor material in the field of microelectronics due to its high technological maturity and cost advantages.

To achieve the high-quality requirements of IC chip circuit processes with line widths smaller than 0.13μm to 28nm for 300mm diameter silicon polishing wafers, it is essential to minimize contamination from impurities, such as metal ions, on the wafer's surface.

In conclusion, both graphitization and carbonization are industrial processes that involve carbon either as a reactant or a product. Carbonization refers to the process of converting organic matter into carbon, while graphitization involves transforming carbon into graphite. Therefore, carbonization is classified as a chemical change, whereas graphitization is recognized as a microstructural change.
