A P-type silicon carbide (SiC) wafer is a semiconductor substrate that is doped with impurities to create a P-type (positive) conductivity. Silicon carbide is a wide-bandgap semiconductor material that offers exceptional electrical and thermal properties, making it suitable for high-power and high-temperature electronic devices.

A diffusion furnace is a specialized piece of equipment used to introduce impurities into semiconductor wafers in a controlled manner. These impurities, called dopants, change the electrical properties of semiconductors, allowing different types of electronic components to be made. This controlled diffusion process is critical to the production of transistors, diodes and integrated circuits.

The third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor materials, such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC), are renowned for their exceptional optoelectronic conversion and microwave signal transmission capabilities. These materials meet the demanding requirements of high-frequency, high-temperature, high-power, and radiation-resistant electronic devices. Therefore, they have vast application prospects in new-generation mobile communications, new energy vehicles, smart grids, and LED technologies. The comprehensive development of the third-generation semiconductor industry urgently requires breakthroughs in key core technologies, continual advancement in device design and innovation, and a resolution to import dependencies.

SiC MOSFETs are transistors that offer high power density, improved efficiency, and low failure rates at high temperatures. These advantages of SiC MOSFETs bring numerous benefits to electric vehicles (EVs), including longer driving range, faster charging, and potentially lower cost battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Over the past five years, SiC MOSFETs have been widely used in the power electronics of EVs in vehicles from OEMs such as Tesla and Hyundai. In fact, SiC inverters accounted for 28% of the BEV market in 2023.

The development of 3C-SiC, a significant polytype of silicon carbide, reflects the continuous advancement of semiconductor material science. In the 1980s, Nishino et al. first achieved a 4 μm thick 3C-SiC film on a silicon substrate using chemical vapor deposition (CVD)[1], laying the foundation for 3C-SiC thin-film technology.

Today, Onsemi announced on its official website that it has reached an agreement with Qorvo to acquire the SiC JFET technology business and Qorvo's subsidiary.
