Heat treatment is one of the essential and important processes in the semiconductor process. Thermal process is the process of applying thermal energy to a wafer by placing it in an environment filled with a specific gas, including oxidation/diffusion/annealing, etc.

Semiconductors are materials that guide electrical properties between conductors and insulators, with equal probability of loss and gain of electrons in the outermost layer of the atomic nucleus, and are easily made into PN junctions. Such as "silicon (Si)", "germanium (Ge)" and other materials.

The silicon carbide industry involves a chain of processes that include substrate creation, epitaxial growth, device design, device manufacturing, packaging, and testing. In general, silicon carbide is created as ingots, which are then sliced, ground, and polished to produce a silicon carbide substrate.

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.

The ultra-high synthesis temperature and the difficulty of achieving dense sintering of SiC ceramics have limited their development. The sintering process is crucial for SiC ceramics.

In the high voltage field, particularly for high-voltage devices above 20,000V, the SiC epitaxial technology still faces several challenges. One of the main difficulties is achieving high uniformity, thickness, and doping concentration in the epitaxial layer. For the fabrication of such high-voltage devices, a 200um thick silicon carbide epitaxial wafer with excellent uniformity and concentration is required.
