Semicorex's SiC crystal growth furnace component, the porous graphite barrel, will bring three major benefits and can effectively strengthen the competitiveness of domestic SiC substrates:

Silicon carbide (SiC) plays an important role in manufacturing power electronics and high-frequency devices due to its excellent electrical and thermal properties. The quality and doping level of SiC crystals directly affect the performance of the device, so precise control of doping is one of the key technologies in the SiC growth process.

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.

Common thin films are mainly divided into three categories: semiconductor thin films, dielectric thin films, and metal/metal compound thin films.

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.

Wafer cleaning refers to the process of removing particulate contaminants, organic contaminants, metal contaminants, and natural oxide layers from the wafer surface using physical or chemical methods before semiconductor processes such as oxidation, photolithography, epitaxy, diffusion, and wire evaporation. In the semiconductor manufacturing, the yield rate of semiconductor devices largely depends on the cleanliness of the semiconductor wafer surface. Therefore, to achieve the cleanliness required for semiconductor manufacturing, the rigorous wafer cleaning processes are essential.
