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

Silicon Carbide (SiC) has emerged as a key material in the field of semiconductor technology, offering exceptional properties that make it highly desirable for various electronic and optoelectronic applications. The production of high-quality SiC single crystals is crucial for advancing the capabilities of devices such as power electronics, LEDs, and high-frequency devices. In this article, we delve into the significance of porous graphite in the Physical Vapor Transport (PVT) method for 4H-SiC single crystal growth.

Currently, many semiconductor devices employ mesa device structures, which are predominantly created through two types of etching: wet etching and dry etching. While the simple and rapid wet etching plays a significant role in semiconductor device fabrication, it has inherent drawbacks such as isotropic etching and poor uniformity, which result in limited control when transferring small-sized patterns. Dry etching, however, with its high anisotropy, good uniformity, and repeatability, has become prominent in semiconductor device fabrication processes. The term “dry etching” broadly refers to any non-wet etching technology used for removing surface materials and transferring micro and nano patterns, including laser etching, plasma etching, and chemical vapor etching. The dry etching discussed in this text specifically pertains to the narrow application of processes using plasma discharge—either physical or chemical—to modify material surfaces.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor material that has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its exceptional performance in high-voltage and high-temperature applications. This study systematically explores the various characteristics of SiC crystals grown using modified process conditions.

Etching is a critical step in chip manufacturing, used to create minute circuit structures on silicon wafers.

The crystal growth furnace is the core equipment for the growth of Silicon Carbide crystals. It is similar to the traditional crystalline silicon-grade crystal growth furnace. The furnace structure is not very complicated. It is mainly composed of the furnace body, heating system, coil transmission mechanism, vacuum acquisition and measurement system, gas path system, cooling system, control system, etc. The thermal field and process conditions determine the key indicators such as the quality, size, and conductivity of the SiC crystal.
