Specifically Developed for Silicon Wafer Processing

High-purity, full-density PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide was specifically developed to meet the tough demands of silicon wafer processing.

         Ultra-pure material – With a purity greater than 99.9995% and no porosity, PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide helps maintain the cleanliness of semiconductor manufacturing processes

         Low thermal mass – a critical design parameter, the high-strength and stiffness of PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide allow the use of thin, lightweight components

         Thermal shock resistance – RTP processes benefit from the high thermal shock resistance of PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide, helping to improve ramp rates and component life

         Withstands cleaning processes – Highly resistant to concentrated HF/HNO3 wet cleans and high temperature in-situ etching with gaseous HCl

         High and low-resistivity grades – for applications requiring specific electrical properties

         High and low transmissivity grades – for applications where optical or infrared transmissivity is critical

         Near-net shape capabilities – assist in the fabrication of intricate geometries

Specify PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide for RTP, epi, etch, implant, and other critical processes.

Ultra-Clean Manufacturing Processes

Individual bays for each CVD SiC reactor fitted with dedicated HEPA-filtration system.

Individual bays for each CVD SiC reactor fitted with dedicated HEPA-filtration system.

With purity greater than 99.9995%, PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide has the cleanliness for advanced semiconductor manufacturing and other ultra-clean processes.

         Critical trace elements are maintained at levels well below one ppm in bulk

         Full-density CVD SiC reduces the particles or cleaning solutions that can be trapped in porous materials

         Ultra-high-purity feed gases employed in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process

Controlled Electrical Resistivity Applications

PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide is offered in HR and LR grades for applications where high or low electrical resistivity is required. Controlled resistivity, combined with high purity and corrosion resistance, make PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide an ideal material for use in plasma etch, ion implant, and static-dissipative processes.

High-resistivity (HR) grade PURE SiC HR grade has a resistivity greater than 106 ohm.cm at room temperature.

Low-resistivity (LR) grade PURE SiC CVD Silicon Carbide has a resistivity of less than 0.1 ohm-cm.

Controlled Optical Transmissivity Applications

PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide is offered in the standard translucent HR grade and in low-transmissivity LR grade for applications requiring an opaque silicon carbide. Our in-house optical testing capabilities help to ensure that PURE SiC CVD silicon carbide meets your optical requirements.

Specify PURE SiC LR grade CVD silicon carbide for applications where motion sensors or optical temperature sensors require a low-transmissivity material. Our LR grade is also available in thin-wall protective sheaths – for quick response thermocouples and optical temperature sensors.
