The Silicon Carbide (SiC) production process encompasses the preparation of substrate and epitaxy from the materials side, followed by chip design and manufacturing, device packaging, and finally, distribution to downstream application markets. Among these stages, substrate material processing is the most challenging aspect of the SiC industry. SiC substrates are both hard and brittle, making cutting, grinding, and polishing extremely difficult. This increases the likelihood of defects during processing and reduces the yield rate. Currently, major international SiC manufacturers are planning to transition from 6-inch to 8-inch SiC wafers. Overcoming the challenges associated with 8-inch substrates has become a critical benchmark for the SiC industry. This article will introduce the key parameters of SiC substrates.

The processing of 4H-SiC substrate mainly includes the following steps:

Silicon carbide ceramics offer numerous advantages in the optical fiber industry, including high-temperature stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, low loss and damage threshold, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, and low dielectric constant. These properties make SiC ceramics an ideal material for fiber optic sensors, lasers, and high-power optical fiber applications. As demand in the optical fiber field increases, the application prospects for silicon carbide ceramics will become increasingly prominent.

The fabrication of semiconductor devices primarily encompasses four types of processes: (1) Photolithography (2) Doping Techniques (3) Film Deposition (4) Etching Techniques The specific techniques involved include photolithography, ion implantation, rapid thermal processing (RTP), plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), sputtering, and both dry and wet etching methods.

Common thin films are mainly divided into three categories: semiconductor thin films, dielectric thin films, and metal/metal compound thin films.

Graphite is vital in producing Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors, known for their exceptional thermal and electrical properties. This makes SiC ideal for high-power, high-temperature, and high-frequency applications. In SiC semiconductor manufacturing, graphite is commonly used for crucibles, heaters, and other high-temperature processing components due to its excellent thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and resistance to thermal shock.
