Silicon Carbide Wafers(SiC wafer)

PWAM offers semiconductor materials, especially for SiC wafer, SiC substate of polytype 4H and 6H in different quality grades for researcher and industry manufacturers. We has developed SiC crystal growth technology and SiC wafer processing technology, established a production line to manufacturer SiC substrate and SiC wafer. As a professional company invested by the leading manufacturers from the fields of advanced and high-tech material research and state institutes and China's Semiconductor Lab, we are devoted to continuously improve the quality of SiC wafer, currently substates and develop large size substrates. Our responsibility is to produce the best silicon wafer.

SiC Wafer is a binary compound semiconductor of IV-IV group, and also the only solid compound of IV group in the periodic table of elements. There are more than 250 isomeric types of SiC, therein, the most important of which are β - SiC and α - SiC. β - SiC(3C SiC), and α - SiC is a hexagonal dense fibrous zinc ore structure, including 6h, 4h, 15R, etc. Currently 4H SiC wafer and 6H SiC wafer have been widely used in RF, high power devices and LED

Why is SiC wafer?

1.SiC wafer has a breakdown electric field strength of 10 times that of Si and a thermal conductivity of 3 times that of Si, which makes SiC particularly attractive for high-power and high-temperature devices. For example, under a given blocking voltage, the on state resistance of SiC power device is several orders of magnitude lower than that of Si device, which will greatly improve the power conversion efficiency. The wide band gap and high thermal stability of SiC enable some types of SiC devices to work indefinitely at junction temperature of 300C or higher without measurable performance degradation. 

2.In wide band gap semiconductors, SiC is special because it can easily dope p-type or n-type in the range of more than 5 orders of magnitude

3.SiC Wafer is the only compound semiconductor, and its natural oxide is SiO, It is the same insulator as the natural oxide of silicon, which makes it possible to make the whole electronic device based on MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) group with SiC.
