Crystal growth is the core link in the production of Silicon Carbide substrates, and the core equipment is the crystal growth furnace. Similar to traditional crystalline silicon-grade crystal growth furnaces, the furnace structure is not very complex and mainly consists of a furnace body, a heating system, a coil transmission mechanism, a vacuum acquisition and measurement system, a gas path system, a cooling system, a control system, etc., among which Thermal field and process conditions determine the quality, size, conductive properties and other key indicators of Silicon Carbide crystals.

A Dummy Wafer is a specialized wafer utilized primarily to fill machine equipment during the wafer manufacturing process.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is highly favored in the semiconductor industry for its excellent physical and chemical properties. However, the high hardness and brittleness of SiC pose considerable challenges to its processing.

Silicon material is a solid material with certain semiconductor electrical properties and physical stability, and provides substrate support for the subsequent integrated circuit manufacturing process. It is a key material for silicon-based integrated circuits. More than 95% of semiconductor devices and more than 90% of integrated circuits in the world are made on silicon wafers.

Silicon carbide (SiC), as a wide bandgap semiconductor material, offers unparalleled advantages in high-power, high-temperature, and high-frequency applications.

Currently, many semiconductor devices employ mesa device structures, which are predominantly created through two types of etching: wet etching and dry etching. While the simple and rapid wet etching plays a significant role in semiconductor device fabrication, it has inherent drawbacks such as isotropic etching and poor uniformity, which result in limited control when transferring small-sized patterns. Dry etching, however, with its high anisotropy, good uniformity, and repeatability, has become prominent in semiconductor device fabrication processes. The term “dry etching” broadly refers to any non-wet etching technology used for removing surface materials and transferring micro and nano patterns, including laser etching, plasma etching, and chemical vapor etching. The dry etching discussed in this text specifically pertains to the narrow application of processes using plasma discharge—either physical or chemical—to modify material surfaces.
