Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) are expected to play an increasingly important role in power electronic devices. They offer several advantages over traditional Silicon (Si) devices, including higher efficiency, power density, and switching frequency. Ion implantation is the primary method for achieving selective doping in Si devices. However, there are some challenges when applying it to wide bandgap devices. In this article, we will focus on some of these challenges and summarize their potential applications in GaN power devices.

The Silicon Carbide (SiC) production process encompasses the preparation of substrate and epitaxy from the materials side, followed by chip design and manufacturing, device packaging, and finally, distribution to downstream application markets. Among these stages, substrate material processing is the most challenging aspect of the SiC industry. SiC substrates are both hard and brittle, making cutting, grinding, and polishing extremely difficult. This increases the likelihood of defects during processing and reduces the yield rate. Currently, major international SiC manufacturers are planning to transition from 6-inch to 8-inch SiC wafers. Overcoming the challenges associated with 8-inch substrates has become a critical benchmark for the SiC industry. This article will introduce the key parameters of SiC substrates.

The four main molding methods for graphite molding are: extrusion molding, molding, vibratory molding and isostatic molding. Most of the common carbon/graphite materials on the market are molded by hot extrusion and molding (cold or hot), and isostatic molding is a method with leading molding performance. Vibration molding is generally used to manufacture medium and coarse structural graphite, particle size between 0.5-2mm particle size, generally dominated by di-roasted graphitized products, density between 1.55-1.75kg/m³, coarser particles, rougher surface, can not be used for precision machining. It is mainly used in chemical industry and metal smelting.

According to the research results, TaC coating can act as a protection and isolation layer to extend graphite component life, improve radial temperature uniformity, maintain SiC sublimation stoichiometry, suppress impurity migration, and reduce energy consumption. Ultimately a TaC-coated graphite crucible set is expected to improve SiC PVT process control and product quality.

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is a versatile technique for producing high-quality coatings with various applications in industries such as aerospace, electronics, and materials science. CVD-SiC coatings are known for their exceptional properties, including high temperature resistance, mechanical strength, and excellent corrosion resistance.

Recently, our company announced that the company has successfully developed a 6-inch Gallium Oxide single crystal using the casting method, becoming the first domestic industrialized company to master the 6-inch Gallium Oxide single crystal substrate preparation technology.
