In the process of wafer preparation, there are two core links: one is the preparation of the substrate, and the other is the implementation of the epitaxial process. The substrate, a wafer carefully made of semiconductor single crystal material, can be directly put into the wafer manufacturing process as a basis to produce semiconductor devices, or further enhance the performance through the epitaxial process.

Recently, Infineon Technologies announced the successful development of the world’s first 300mm power Gallium Nitride (GaN) wafer technology.

The single crystal growth furnace is composed of six key systems that work in harmony to ensure efficient and high-quality crystal growth.

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.

The third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor materials, such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC), are renowned for their exceptional optoelectronic conversion and microwave signal transmission capabilities. These materials meet the demanding requirements of high-frequency, high-temperature, high-power, and radiation-resistant electronic devices. Therefore, they have vast application prospects in new-generation mobile communications, new energy vehicles, smart grids, and LED technologies. The comprehensive development of the third-generation semiconductor industry urgently requires breakthroughs in key core technologies, continual advancement in device design and innovation, and a resolution to import dependencies.
