The growth of GaN epitaxy on GaN substrate presents a unique challenge, despite the material’s superior properties when compared to silicon. GaN epitaxy offers significant advantages in terms of band gap width, thermal conductivity, and breakdown electric field over silicon-based materials. This makes the adoption of GaN as the backbone for the third generation of semiconductors, which provide enhanced cooling, lower conduction loss, and improved performance under high temperatures and frequencies, a promising and crucial advancement for the photonic and micro-electronic industries.

The third generation of semiconductor materials AlN belongs to the direct bandgap semiconductor, its bandwidth of 6.2 eV, with high thermal conductivity, resistivity, breakdown field strength, as well as excellent chemical and thermal stability, is not only an important blue light, ultraviolet materials, or electronic devices and integrated circuits, important packaging, dielectric isolation and insulation materials, especially for high-temperature high-power devices. In addition, AlN and GaN have a good thermal match and chemical compatibility, AlN used as GaN epitaxial substrate, can significantly reduce the defect density in GaN devices, improve device performance.

​As the world searches for new opportunities in the semiconductor field, Gallium Nitride (GaN) continues to stand out as a potential candidate for future power and RF applications. However, despite its numerous benefits, GaN faces a significant challenge: the absence of P-type products. Why is GaN hailed as the next major semiconductor material, why is the lack of P-type GaN devices a critical drawback, and what does this mean for future designs?

Silicon carbide has a large number of applications in emerging industries and traditional industries. At present, the global semiconductor market has exceeded 100 billion yuan. It is expected that by 2025, the global sales of semiconductor manufacturing materials will reach 39.5 billion US dollars, of which the silicon carbide semiconductor market is expected to reach a market size of 2.5 billion US dollars in 2025. At the same time, silicon carbide is still the material with the best application performance in traditional ceramics, refractory, high temperature, grinding and other fields.

Silicon carbide substrate is a compound semiconductor single crystal material composed of two elements, carbon and silicon. It has the characteristics of large bandgap, high thermal conductivity, high critical breakdown field strength, and high electron saturation drift rate.

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.
