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.

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) refers to a process technology where multiple gaseous reactants at varied partial pressures undergo a chemical reaction under specific temperature and pressure conditions. The resulting solid substance deposits on the surface of the substrate material, thereby obtaining the desired thin film. In traditional integrated circuit manufacturing processes, the obtained thin film materials are generally compounds such as oxides, nitrides, carbides, or materials like polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, etc.

Crystal growth is the core link in the production of Silicon Carbide substrates, and the core equipment is the crystal growth furnace. Similar to traditional crystalline silicon-grade crystal growth furnaces, the furnace structure is not very complex and mainly consists of a furnace body, a heating system, a coil transmission mechanism, a vacuum acquisition and measurement system, a gas path system, a cooling system, a control system, etc., among which Thermal field and process conditions determine the quality, size, conductive properties and other key indicators of Silicon Carbide crystals.

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.

Gallium Nitride (GaN) epitaxial wafer growth is a complex process, often utilizing a two-step method. This method involves several critical stages, including high-temperature baking, buffer layer growth, recrystallization, and annealing. By meticulously controlling the temperature throughout these stages, the two-step growth method effectively prevents wafer warping caused by lattice mismatch or stress, making it the predominant fabrication method for GaN epitaxial wafers globally.

As a new separation technology, the core of ceramic membrane filtration equipment is the ceramic membrane (filter element).
