Silicon carbide substrates have many defects and cannot be processed directly. A specific single crystal thin film needs to be grown on them through an epitaxial process to make chip wafers. This thin film is the epitaxial layer. Almost all silicon carbide devices are realized on epitaxial materials. High-quality silicon carbide homogeneous epitaxial materials are the basis for the development of silicon carbide devices. The performance of epitaxial materials directly determines the realization of the performance of silicon carbide devices.

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.

Silicon carbide nanomaterials (SiC) are materials with at least one dimension at the nanometer scale (1-100nm). These materials can be zero-, one-, two-, or three-dimensional and have diverse applications.

The main difference between epitaxy and atomic layer deposition (ALD) lies in their film growth mechanisms and operating conditions. Epitaxy refers to the process of growing a crystalline thin film on a crystalline substrate with a specific orientation relationship, maintaining the same or similar crystal structure. In contrast, ALD is a deposition technique that involves exposing a substrate to different chemical precursors in sequence to form a thin film one atomic layer at a time.

Thin film deposition is vital in chip manufacturing, creating micro devices by depositing films under 1 micron thick via CVD, ALD, or PVD. These processes build semiconductor components through alternating conductive and insulating films.

SiC and GaN are wide bandgap semiconductors with advantages over silicon, such as higher breakdown voltages, faster switching speeds, and superior efficiency. SiC is better for high-voltage, high-power applications due to its higher thermal conductivity, while GaN excels in high-frequency applications thanks to its superior electron mobility.
