China SiC Coated Barrel Manufacturers, Suppliers, Factory

SiC substrate can have microscopic defects, such as Threading Screw Dislocation (TSD), Threading Edge Dislocation (TED), Base Plane Dislocation (BPD), and others. These defects are caused by deviations in the arrangement of atoms at the atomic level.

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?

At first glance, quartz (SiO2) material looks very similar to glass, but what is special is that ordinary glass is composed of many components (such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc.), while quartz only contains SiO2, and its microstructure is a simple network composed of silicon dioxide tetrahedral structural units.

Within the silicon carbide (SiC) industry chain, substrate suppliers hold significant leverage, primarily due to value distribution. SiC substrates account for 47% of the total value, followed by epitaxial layers at 23%, while device design and manufacturing constitute the remaining 30%. This inverted value chain stems from the high technological barriers inherent to substrate and epitaxial layer production. Three major challenges plague SiC substrate growth: stringent growth conditions, slow growth rates, and demanding crystallographic requirements. These complexities contribute to increased processing difficulty, ultimately resulting in low product yields and high costs. Furthermore, the epitaxial layer’s thickness and doping concentration are critical parameters directly impacting the final device performance.

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.
