The most basic stage of all processes is the oxidation process. The oxidation process is to place the silicon wafer in an atmosphere of oxidants such as oxygen or water vapor for high-temperature heat treatment (800~1200℃), and a chemical reaction occurs on the surface of the silicon wafer to form an oxide film (SiO2 film).

SiC's own characteristics determine its single crystal growth is more difficult. Due to the absence of Si:C=1:1 liquid phase at atmospheric pressure, the more mature growth process adopted by the mainstream of the semiconductor industry can not be used to grow the more mature growth method-straight pulling method, the descending crucible method and other methods for growth. After theoretical calculations, only when the pressure is greater than 105 atm and the temperature is higher than 3200 ℃, can we get the stoichiometric ratio of Si:C = 1:1 solution. pvt method is currently one of the more mainstream methods.

Semiconductor manufacturing, the cornerstone of modern technological advancement, is in constant pursuit of smaller, faster, and more efficient integrated circuits. This relentless pursuit drives the need for increasingly precise and sophisticated manufacturing processes, where each step relies heavily on high-performance, high-quality, and high-precision equipment. Silicon carbide (SiC), a high-performance structural ceramic material, plays a crucial role in this demanding environment.

In the semiconductor industry, quartz is widely used, and high-purity quartz products are even more important consumables in wafer production. The production of silicon single crystal crucibles, crystal boats, diffusion furnace core tubes, and other quartz components must use high-purity quartz glass products.

The first generation of semiconductor materials is mainly represented by silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), which began to rise in the 1950s. Germanium was dominant in the early days and was mainly used in low-voltage, low-frequency, medium-power transistors and photodetectors, but due to its poor high temperature resistance and radiation resistance, it was gradually replaced by silicon devices in the late 1960s. Silicon is still the main semiconductor material in the field of microelectronics due to its high technological maturity and cost advantages.
