Compression molding, isostatic pressing, and rod extrusion are the three most common methods for producing graphite rods, similar to those used for creating graphite tubes.

Silicon carbide substrate is a compound semiconductor single crystal material composed of two elements, carbon and silicon. It has the characteristics of large bandgap, high thermal conductivity, high critical breakdown field strength, and high electron saturation drift rate.

Graphite susceptor is one of the essential parts in the MOCVD equipment, is the carrier and the heater of the wafer substrate. Its properties of thermal stability and thermal uniformity play a decisive role in the quality of wafer epitaxial growth, which directly determines the uniformity and purity of the layer materials, in a result its quality directly affects the preparation of epitaxy.

A diffusion furnace is a specialized piece of equipment used to introduce impurities into semiconductor wafers in a controlled manner. These impurities, called dopants, change the electrical properties of semiconductors, allowing different types of electronic components to be made. This controlled diffusion process is critical to the production of transistors, diodes and integrated circuits.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) has emerged as a key material in the field of semiconductor technology, offering exceptional properties that make it highly desirable for various electronic and optoelectronic applications. The production of high-quality SiC single crystals is crucial for advancing the capabilities of devices such as power electronics, LEDs, and high-frequency devices. In this article, we delve into the significance of porous graphite in the Physical Vapor Transport (PVT) method for 4H-SiC single crystal growth.

The history of silicon carbide (SiC) dates back to 1891, when Edward Goodrich Acheson accidentally discovered it while attempting to synthesize artificial diamonds. Acheson heated a mixture of clay (aluminosilicate) and powdered coke (carbon) in an electric furnace. Instead of the expected diamonds, he obtained a bright green crystal adhering to the carbon. This crystal had a hardness second only to diamond, and was thus named carborundum. In 1904, French-Jewish chemist Henri Moissan discovered rare natural silicon carbide minerals while studying meteorite samples from the Diablo Canyon in Arizona, USA. He named these minerals moissanite, and his discovery earned him the 1906 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
