8-inch SiC epitaxial furnace and homoepitaxial process research

Diamond, a potential fourth-generation "ultimate semiconductor," is gaining attention in semiconductor substrates due to its exceptional hardness, thermal conductivity, and electrical properties. While its high cost and production challenges limit its use, CVD is the preferred method. Despite doping and large-area crystal challenges, diamond holds promise.

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).

In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, as device size continues to shrink, the deposition technology of thin film materials has posed unprecedented challenges. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), as a thin film deposition technology that can achieve precise control at the atomic level, has become an indispensable part of semiconductor manufacturing. This article aims to introduce the process flow and principles of ALD to help understand its important role in advanced chip manufacturing.

Recently, the German research institute Fraunhofer IISB has made a breakthrough in the research and development of tantalum carbide coating technology, and developed a spray coating solution that is more flexible and environmentally friendly than the CVD deposition solution, and has been commercialized.

This article introduces the latest developments in the newly designed PE1O8 hot-wall CVD reactor of the Italian company LPE and its ability to perform uniform 4H-SiC epitaxy on 200mm SiC.
