Silicon carbide (SiC) is currently facing challenges in the "price war," while gallium nitride (GaN) is emerging as a key player in the next technological battlefield.

Annealing after ion implantation is a key step in semiconductor device manufacturing, which affects the performance and reliability of the device.

Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) as an "ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor" material has garnered sustained attention. Ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors fall under the category of "fourth-generation semiconductors," and in comparison to third-generation semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), gallium oxide boasts a bandgap width of 4.9eV, surpassing silicon carbide's 3.2eV and gallium nitride's 3.39eV. A wider bandgap implies that electrons require more energy to transition from the valence band to the conduction band, endowing gallium oxide with characteristics like high voltage resistance, high-temperature tolerance, high power capability, and radiation resistance.

In semiconductor manufacturing, the precision and stability of the etching process are paramount. One critical factor in achieving high-quality etching is ensuring that wafers are perfectly flat on the tray during the process. Any deviation can lead to uneven ion bombardment, causing undesirable angles and variations in etching rates. To address these challenges, engineers have developed Electrostatic Chucks (ESCs), which have significantly improved etching quality and stability. This article delves into the design and functionality of ESCs, focusing on one key aspect: the electrostatic principles behind wafer adhesion.

The process of monocrystalline silicon growth predominantly occurs within a thermal field, where the quality of the thermal environment significantly impacts crystal quality and growth efficiency. The design of the thermal field plays a pivotal role in shaping temperature gradients and gas flow dynamics within the furnace chamber. Furthermore, the materials used in constructing the thermal field directly influence its lifespan and performance.

The development of high-powered blue and UV LEDs has enabled the creation of full-color LED TV displays, as well as white LED automotive and domestic lighting. These LEDs are based on Gallium Nitride, which is deposited on substrate wafers supported by CVD SiC-coated graphite susceptor using the MOCVD process.
