P-grade silicon carbide(SiC)wafer 8inch Product Overview:
Our 8-inch Conductive SiC (Silicon Carbide) Substrate is designed for the most demanding applications in semiconductor fabrication and power electronics, In LED manufacturing, we offer two distinct grades: namely the Zero MPD Production Grade (Z Grade) and the Dummy Grade (D Grade).
Specifically, these grades are designed to meet diverse industry needs while delivering unmatched precision as well as reliability.
SiC substrates are essential for high-performance devices due to their excellent electrical properties and ability to withstand high temperatures and making them ideal for power semiconductors.
Besides these substrates can be used in critical applications like high-power devices and automotive power systems, and RF (Radio Frequency) components.
Key Specifications:
Diameter:
Zero MPD Production Grade (Z Grade): 199.5 mm – 200.0 mm
Dummy Grade (D Grade): 199.5 mm – 200.0 mm
Both grades are designed with highly precise tolerances besides ensuring consistency for high-volume production processes.
Poly-type:
Zero MPD Production Grade (Z Grade): 4H
Dummy Grade (D Grade): 4H
The 4H poly-type is renowned for its robustness and performance in electronic devices.
Thickness:
500 µm ± 25 µm
Consistent thickness ensures uniform processing and optimal performance in semiconductor fabrication.
Wafer Orientation:
Zero MPD Production Grade (Z Grade): 4.0° toward <11-20> ± 0.5°
Dummy Grade (D Grade): 4.0° toward <11-20> ± 0.5°
The precise wafer orientation enhances the material’s electrical properties and ensures minimal wafer defects.
Micropipe Density:
Zero MPD Production Grade (Z Grade): ≤ 0.2 cm²
Dummy Grade (D Grade): ≤ 5 cm²
Low micropipe density in the Z Grade ensures higher yield and quality and critical for high-performance devices.
Resistivity:
Zero MPD Production Grade (Z Grade): 0.015 – 0.025 Ω·cm
Dummy Grade (D Grade): 0.015 – 0.028 Ω·cm
The low resistivity values in both grades ensure efficient current flow and especially for high-power applications.
Notch Orientation:
Zero MPD Production Grade (Z Grade): {10-10} ± 5.0°
Dummy Grade (D Grade): {10-10} ± 5.0°
Precision in notch orientation guarantees compatibility with standard processing equipment and systems.
Edge Exclusion:
3 mm for both grades
The edge exclusion standard ensures uniform processing and consistent results throughout wafer production.
LTV / TTV / Bow / Warp:
Zero MPD Production Grade (Z Grade): ≤ 5 µm / ≤ 10 µm / ± 35 µm / 70 µm
Dummy Grade (D Grade): ≤ 10 µm / ≤ 15 µm / ± 50 µm / 100 µm
These tight tolerances on bow and warp, as well as thickness variation, are critical not only for ensuring the wafer’s stability but also for maintaining uniformity in final product applications.
Polish Surface Quality:
Zero MPD Production Grade (Z Grade): Ra ≤ 1 nm andCMP Ra ≤ 0.2 nm
Dummy Grade (D Grade): Ra ≤ 1 nm and CMP Ra ≤ 0.5 nm, which means the surface roughness is extremely low. Furthermore, this promotes excellent adhesion and thus enhances integration with subsequent layers in semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Packaging:
Both grades are available in multi-wafer cassette or single wafer container and allowing flexibility for different production volumes and processing requirements.
