China Etch Carrier for ICP Manufacturers, Suppliers, Factory

Every country is aware of the importance of chips and is now accelerating the construction of its own chip manufacturing supply chain ecosystem to prevent another chip shortage problem. But the advanced foundries without next-gen chip designers would be the same as “Fabs without Chips”.

Taiwan's Power Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) has announced plans to build a 300mm wafer fab in Japan in collaboration with SBI Holdings. The purpose of this collaboration is to strengthen Japan's domestic IC (integrated circuit) supply chain, with a particular focus on circuits for AI edge computing and packaging technologies.

In the rapidly evolving field of semiconductor manufacturing, even the smallest improvements can make a big difference when it comes to achieving optimal performance, durability, and efficiency. One advancement that is generating a lot of buzz in the industry is the use of TaC (Tantalum Carbide) coating on graphite surfaces. But what exactly is TaC coating, and why are semiconductor manufacturers taking notice of it?

MOCVD is a new vapor phase epitaxial growth technology developed on the basis of vapor phase epitaxial growth (VPE).

In traditional silicon power device fabrication, high-temperature diffusion and ion implantation stand as the primary methods for dopant control, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Typically, high-temperature diffusion is characterized by its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, isotropic dopant distribution profiles, and lower introduction of lattice damage. Conversely, ion implantation, though complex and costly, enables precise independent control over dopant concentration and depth but introduces a significant number of point defects and extended defects into the substrate.

Thick, high-purity silicon carbide (SiC) layers, typically exceeding 1mm, are critical components in various high-value applications, including semiconductor fabrication and aerospace technologies. This article delves into the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process for producing such layers, highlighting key process parameters, material characteristics, and emerging applications.
