The degree of graphitization is an essential measure used to assess how close carbon atoms are to forming a tightly-packed hexagonal graphite crystal structure.

An Electrostatic Chuck (ESC) is a device used to hold semiconductor wafers in place during processes such as etching, deposition, or polishing.

At present, the most important direction trend of substrate development is to expand the diameter. The 6-inch mass production line in the global SiC market is maturing, and leading companies have entered the 8-inch market.

In the world of high-temperature heating, achieving precision and reliability in extreme conditions is paramount. To meet these challenges, innovative materials and designs have been developed to push the boundaries of what's possible. One such advancement is the Silicon Carbide (SiC) coated graphite heating element.

When cleaning wafers, ultrasonic cleaning and megasonic cleaning are commonly used to remove particles from the wafer surface.

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.
