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.

Vacuum coating includes film material vaporization, vacuum transportation and thin film growth. According to the different film material vaporization methods and transportation processes, vacuum coating can be divided into two categories: PVD and CVD.

As the 8-inch silicon carbide (SiC) process matures, manufacturers are accelerating the shift from 6-inch to 8-inch. Recently, ON Semiconductor and Resonac announced updates on 8-inch SiC production.

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.

Through continuous technological progress and in-depth mechanism research, 3C-SiC heteroepitaxial technology is expected to play a more important role in the semiconductor industry and promote the development of high-efficiency electronic devices.

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.
