In the high voltage field, particularly for high-voltage devices above 20,000V, the SiC epitaxial technology still faces several challenges. One of the main difficulties is achieving high uniformity, thickness, and doping concentration in the epitaxial layer. For the fabrication of such high-voltage devices, a 200um thick silicon carbide epitaxial wafer with excellent uniformity and concentration is required.

Graphite Boat, stands at the forefront of technological innovation in its industry, featuring a suite of groundbreaking advancements designed to enhance performance, purity, and lifespan. Below, we delve into the core technologies that define graphite boat's excellence:

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 process of silicon carbide substrate is complex and difficult to manufacture. SiC substrate occupies the main value of the industry chain, accounting for 47%. It is expected that with the expansion of production capacity and the improvement of yield in the future, it is expected to drop to 30%.

At first glance, quartz (SiO2) material looks very similar to glass, but what is special is that ordinary glass is composed of many components (such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc.), while quartz only contains SiO2, and its microstructure is a simple network composed of silicon dioxide tetrahedral structural units.

Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) are expected to play an increasingly important role in power electronic devices. They offer several advantages over traditional Silicon (Si) devices, including higher efficiency, power density, and switching frequency. Ion implantation is the primary method for achieving selective doping in Si devices. However, there are some challenges when applying it to wide bandgap devices. In this article, we will focus on some of these challenges and summarize their potential applications in GaN power devices.
