According to the research results, TaC coating can act as a protection and isolation layer to extend graphite component life, improve radial temperature uniformity, maintain SiC sublimation stoichiometry, suppress impurity migration, and reduce energy consumption. Ultimately a TaC-coated graphite crucible set is expected to improve SiC PVT process control and product quality.

The process of monocrystalline silicon growth predominantly occurs within a thermal field, where the quality of the thermal environment significantly impacts crystal quality and growth efficiency. The design of the thermal field plays a pivotal role in shaping temperature gradients and gas flow dynamics within the furnace chamber. Furthermore, the materials used in constructing the thermal field directly influence its lifespan and performance.

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.

In the field of single crystal growth, the temperature distribution within the crystal growth furnace plays a critical role. This temperature distribution, commonly referred to as the thermal field, is a vital factor that influences the quality and characteristics of the crystal being grown. The thermal field can be categorized into two types: static and dynamic.

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is a key material in the development of advanced high-temperature structural ceramics.

Homoepitaxy and heteroepitaxy play pivotal roles in material science. Homoepitaxy involves the growth of a crystalline layer on a substrate of the same material, ensuring minimal defects due to perfect lattice matching. In contrast, heteroepitaxy grows a crystalline layer on a different material substrate, which can lead to challenges like lattice mismatch. These processes are crucial in advancing semiconductor devices and thin films. For instance, heteroepitaxy significantly impacts microelectronics and quantum optics, contributing to innovations like Light Emitting Diodes.
