SiC coating is a thin layer onto the susceptor through the chemical vapor deposition(CVD) process. Silicon carbide material provides a number of advantages over silicon, including 10x the breakdown electric field strength, 3x the band gap, which provides the material with high temperature and chemical resistance, excellent wear resistance as well as thermal conductivity.
Semicorex provides customized service, help you innovate with components that last longer, reduce cycle times, and improve yields.
SiC coating possesses several unique advantages
