Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) as an "ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor" material has garnered sustained attention. Ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors fall under the category of "fourth-generation semiconductors," and in comparison to third-generation semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), gallium oxide boasts a bandgap width of 4.9eV, surpassing silicon carbide's 3.2eV and gallium nitride's 3.39eV. A wider bandgap implies that electrons require more energy to transition from the valence band to the conduction band, endowing gallium oxide with characteristics like high voltage resistance, high-temperature tolerance, high power capability, and radiation resistance.

There are several materials currently under investigation, among which silicon carbide stands out as one of the most promising. Similar to GaN, it boasts higher operating voltages, higher breakdown voltages, and superior conductivity compared to silicon. Moreover, thanks to its high thermal conductivity, silicon carbide can be utilized in environments with extreme temperatures. Lastly, it is significantly smaller in size yet capable of handling greater power.

Silicon Carbide generally uses the PVT method, with a temperature of more than 2000 degrees, a long processing cycle, and low output, so the cost of Silicon Carbide substrates is very high.

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.

AlN, as third-generation semiconductor material, is not only an important blue light and ultraviolet light material, but also an important packaging, dielectric isolation and insulation material for electronic devices and integrated circuits, especially suitable for high-temperature and high-power devices. In addition, AlN and GaN have a good thermal match and chemical compatibility, AlN used as GaN epitaxial substrate, can significantly reduce the defect density in GaN devices, improve device performance.

In the process of growing SiC and AlN single crystals by the physical vapor transport method (PVT), components such as the crucible, seed crystal holder and guide ring play a vital role. During the preparation process of SiC, the seed crystal is located in a relatively low temperature region, while the raw material is in a high temperature region exceeding 2400°C. The raw materials decompose at high temperatures to form SiXCy (including Si, SiC₂, Si₂C and other components).
