The development of 3C-SiC, a significant polytype of silicon carbide, reflects the continuous advancement of semiconductor material science. In the 1980s, Nishino et al. first achieved a 4 μm thick 3C-SiC film on a silicon substrate using chemical vapor deposition (CVD)[1], laying the foundation for 3C-SiC thin-film technology.

The recent announcement of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics has brought unprecedented attention to the field of artificial intelligence.

The third generation of wide bandgap semiconductor materials, including gallium nitride (GaN), silicon carbide (SiC), and aluminum nitride (AlN), exhibit excellent electrical, thermal, and acousto-optical properties. These materials address the limitations of the first and second generation of semiconductor materials, significantly advancing the semiconductor industry.

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.

In semiconductor manufacturing, the precision and stability of the etching process are paramount. One critical factor in achieving high-quality etching is ensuring that wafers are perfectly flat on the tray during the process. Any deviation can lead to uneven ion bombardment, causing undesirable angles and variations in etching rates. To address these challenges, engineers have developed Electrostatic Chucks (ESCs), which have significantly improved etching quality and stability. This article delves into the design and functionality of ESCs, focusing on one key aspect: the electrostatic principles behind wafer adhesion.

Semiconductor technology has been the backbone of modern civilization, fundamentally transforming the way we live, work, and interact with the world. It has enabled unprecedented advancements in various fields including information technology, energy, telecommunications, and healthcare. From the microprocessors that power our smartphones and computers, to the sensors in medical devices, and the power electronics in renewable energy systems, semiconductors are at the core of nearly every technological innovation of the past century.
