China Epitaxial Growing Manufacturers, Suppliers, Factory

According to reports from German media, U.S. chip manufacturer Wolfspeed is pausing its plans to build a semiconductor plant in Germany.

The fabrication of semiconductor devices primarily encompasses four types of processes: (1) Photolithography (2) Doping Techniques (3) Film Deposition (4) Etching Techniques The specific techniques involved include photolithography, ion implantation, rapid thermal processing (RTP), plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), sputtering, and both dry and wet etching methods.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) epitaxy is a key technology in the field of semiconductors, particularly for the development of high-power electronic devices. SiC is a compound semiconductor with a wide bandgap, which makes it ideal for applications that require a high-temperature and high-voltage operation.

While there is currently an oversupply of memory semiconductors due to a sluggish global economy, analog chips for automotive and industrial applications remain in short supply. Lead times for these analog chips can be as long as 40 weeks, compared to around 20 weeks for memory stocks.

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.

The tray (base) that supports SiC wafers, also known as a "susceptor," is a core component of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. And what exactly is this susceptor that carries the wafers?
