Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in semiconductor manufacturing is used to deposit thin film materials in the chamber, including SiO2, SiN, etc., and commonly used types include PECVD and LPCVD. By adjusting the temperature, pressure and reaction gas type, CVD achieves high purity, uniformity and good film coverage to meet different process requirements.

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.

In the growth of SiC and AlN single crystals using the physical vapor transport (PVT) method, crucial components such as the crucible, seed holder, and guide ring play a vital role. As depicted in Figure 2 [1], during the PVT process, the seed crystal is positioned in the lower temperature region, while the SiC raw material is exposed to higher temperatures (above 2400 ℃).

8-inch SiC epitaxial furnace and homoepitaxial process research

The working principle of the epitaxial furnace is to deposit semiconductor materials on a substrate under high temperature and high pressure. Silicon epitaxial growth is to grow a layer of crystal with the same crystal orientation as the substrate and different thickness on a silicon single crystal substrate with a certain crystal orientation. This article mainly introduces the silicon epitaxial growth methods: vapor phase epitaxy and liquid phase epitaxy.

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.
