Silicon is a semiconductor material. In the absence of impurities, its own electrical conductivity is very weak. Impurities and crystal defects within the crystal are the main factors affecting its electrical properties.

Semiconductors are materials whose electrical conductivity at room temperature lies between that of insulators and conductors. By introducing impurities, a process known as doping, these materials can become conductors.

Both are N-type semiconductors, but what's the difference between arsenic and phosphorus doping in single-crystal silicon? In single-crystal silicon, arsenic (As) and phosphorus (P) are both commonly used N-type dopants (pentavalent elements that provide free electrons). However, due to differences in atomic structure, physical properties, and processing characteristics, their doping effects and application scenarios differ significantly.

Within the silicon carbide (SiC) industry chain, substrate suppliers hold significant leverage, primarily due to value distribution. SiC substrates account for 47% of the total value, followed by epitaxial layers at 23%, while device design and manufacturing constitute the remaining 30%. This inverted value chain stems from the high technological barriers inherent to substrate and epitaxial layer production. Three major challenges plague SiC substrate growth: stringent growth conditions, slow growth rates, and demanding crystallographic requirements. These complexities contribute to increased processing difficulty, ultimately resulting in low product yields and high costs. Furthermore, the epitaxial layer’s thickness and doping concentration are critical parameters directly impacting the final device performance.
