Silicon carbide (SiC)'s Key growth methods include PVT, TSSG, and HTCVD, each with distinct advantages and challenges. Carbon-based thermal field materials like insulation systems, crucibles, TaC coatings, and porous graphite enhance crystal growth by providing stability, thermal conductivity, and purity, essential for SiC's precise fabrication and application.

Spatial ALD, spatially isolated atomic layer deposition. The wafer moves between different positions and is exposed to different precursors at each position. The figure below is a comparison between traditional ALD and spatially isolated ALD.

Tantalum carbide (TaC) coating can significantly extend the life of graphite parts by improving high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and thermal management capabilities. Its high purity characteristics reduce impurity contamination, improve crystal growth quality, and enhance energy efficiency. It is suitable for semiconductor manufacturing and crystal growth applications in high-temperature, highly corrosive environments.

The article analyzes the specific challenges faced by the CVD TaC coating process for SiC single crystal growth during semiconductor processing, such as material source and purity control, process parameter optimization, coating adhesion, equipment maintenance and process stability, environmental protection and cost control, as well as the corresponding industry solutions.

SiC has high hardness, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for semiconductor manufacturing. CVD SiC coating is created through chemical vapor deposition, providing high thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and a matching lattice constant for epitaxial growth. Its low thermal expansion and high hardness ensure durability and precision, making it essential in applications like wafer carriers, preheating rings, and more. VeTek Semiconductor specializes in custom SiC coatings for diverse industry needs.

The main methods for growing SiC single crystals are: physical vapor transport (PVT), high temperature chemical vapor deposition (HTCVD) and high temperature solution growth (HTSG).
