TaC Plate

Semicorex TaC Plate is a high-performance material specifically engineered to meet the demanding conditions of SiC (Silicon Carbide) epitaxy growth processes. Made from a graphite base and coated with a layer of tantalum carbide, this component provides excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and durability, making it ideal for use in advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, including SiC crystal growth. TaC-coated graphite plates are recognized for their robustness in extreme environments, making them a crucial part of equipment designed for the production of high-quality SiC wafers used in power devices, RF components, and other high-performance semiconductor applications.

Key Features of TaC Plate

1. Exceptional Thermal Conductivity:

The TaC Plate is designed to effectively handle high temperatures without compromising its structural integrity. The combination of graphite's inherent thermal conductivity and the added benefits of tantalum carbide enhances the material's ability to rapidly dissipate heat during the SiC epitaxy growth process. This feature is critical in maintaining optimal temperature uniformity within the reactor, ensuring the consistent growth of high-quality SiC crystals.

2. Superior Chemical Resistance:

Tantalum carbide is renowned for its resistance to chemical corrosion, particularly in high-temperature environments. This property makes the TaC Plate highly resistant to the aggressive etching agents and gases commonly used in SiC epitaxy. It ensures that the material remains stable and durable over time, even when exposed to harsh chemicals, preventing contamination of the SiC crystals and contributing to the longevity of the production equipment.

3. Dimensional Stability and High Purity:

The TaC coating applied to the graphite substrate offers excellent dimensional stability during the SiC epitaxy process. This ensures that the plate retains its shape and size even under extreme temperature fluctuations, reducing the risk of deformation and mechanical failure. Additionally, the high-purity nature of the TaC coating prevents the introduction of unwanted contaminants into the growth process, thus supporting the production of defect-free SiC wafers.

4. High Thermal Shock Resistance:

The SiC epitaxy process involves rapid temperature changes, which can induce thermal stress and lead to material failure in less robust components. However, the TaC-coated graphite plate excels in resisting thermal shock, providing reliable performance throughout the growth cycle, even when exposed to sudden changes in temperature.

5. Extended Service Life:

The durability of the TaC Plate in SiC epitaxy processes significantly reduces the need for frequent replacements, offering an extended service life compared to other materials. The combined properties of high resistance to thermal wear, chemical stability, and dimensional integrity contribute to a longer operational lifespan, making it a cost-effective choice for semiconductor manufacturers.
