Epitaxial wafers have been used in the electronics industry for decades, but their importance has only increased as technology has advanced. In this article, we will explore what epitaxial wafers are and why they are such an essential component of modern electronics.

SiC's own characteristics determine its single crystal growth is more difficult. Due to the absence of Si:C=1:1 liquid phase at atmospheric pressure, the more mature growth process adopted by the mainstream of the semiconductor industry can not be used to grow the more mature growth method-straight pulling method, the descending crucible method and other methods for growth. After theoretical calculations, only when the pressure is greater than 105 atm and the temperature is higher than 3200 ℃, can we get the stoichiometric ratio of Si:C = 1:1 solution. pvt method is currently one of the more mainstream methods.

This article delves into the usage and future trajectory of silicon carbide (SiC) boats in relation to quartz boats within the semiconductor industry, specifically focusing on their applications in solar cell manufacturing.

In semiconductor fabrication, etching is one of the major steps, along with photolithography and thin-film deposition. It involves removing unwanted materials from the surface of a wafer using chemical or physical methods. This step is carried out after coating, photolithography, and developing. It is used to remove the exposed thin film material, leaving only the desired portion of the wafer, and then removing the excess photoresist. These steps are repeated numerous times to create complex integrated circuits.

The semiconductor thin film deposition process is an essential component of modern microelectronics technology. It involves constructing complex integrated circuits by depositing one or more thin layers of material on a semiconductor substrate.

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).
