2-11.Edge Chips

Any edge anomalies (including wafer saw exit marks) in excess of 1.0 mm in either radial depth or width. As viewed under diffuse illumination, edge chips are determined as unintentionally missing material from the edge of the wafer.

5-4 SiC Semiconductor Crystal Growth

5-4 SiC Semiconductor Crystal Growth As of this writing, much of the outstanding theoretical promise of SiC electronics highlighted in the previous section has largely gone unrealized. A brief historical examination quickly shows that serious shortcomings in SiC semiconductor material manufacturability and quality have greatly hindered the development [...]
