4H N type Semi type SiC Wafer 6inch(0001)Double Side Polished Ra≤1 nm Customization
Silicon Carbide (SiC) wafers and substrates are specialized materials used in semiconductor technology made from silicon carbide, a compound known for its high thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical strength, and wide bandgap. Exceptionally hard and lightweight, SiC wafers and substrates provide a robust foundation for fabricating high-power, high-frequency electronic devices, such as power electronics and radio frequency components.
1. High-Voltage Endurance: SiC wafer has over 10 times the breakdown field strength compared to Si material. This allows for higher breakdown voltages to be achieved through lower resistivity and thinner drift layers. For the same voltage endurance, the on-state resistance/size of SiC wafer power modules is only 1/10th of Si, leading to significantly reduced power losses.
2. High-Frequency Endurance: SiC wafer does not exhibit the tail current phenomenon, enhancing the switching speed of devices. It is 3-10 times faster in switching speed compared to silicon (Si), making it suitable for higher frequencies and faster switching speeds.
3. High-Temperature Endurance: The bandgap width of SiC wafer(~3.2 eV) is three times that of Si, resulting in stronger conductivity. The thermal conductivity is 4-5 times that of silicon, and the electron saturation speed is 2-3 times that of Si, enabling a 10-fold increase in operating frequency. With a high melting point (2830°C, approximately twice that of Si at 1410°C), SiC wafer devices significantly improve operational temperature while reducing current leaks.

Q:What size are SiC wafers?
A:Our standard wafer diameters range from 25.4 mm (1 inch) to 300 mm (11.8 inches) in size; wafers can be produced in various thicknesses and orientations with polished or unpolished sides and can include dopants
Q:Why are SiC wafers expensive?
A:The sublimation process to produce SiC requires significant energy to reach 2,200˚C, while the final usable boule is no more than 25 mm in length, and growth times are very long
Q:How to make a SiC wafer?A:The process involves converting raw materials such as silica sand into pure silicon. The growth of silicon crystals using the Czochralski process, the slicing of the crystals into thin, flat discs, and the cleaning and preparation of the wafers for use in semiconductors devices.
