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.

3-12. Silicon Droplets
3-12. Silicon Droplets Silicon droplets can appear as either small mounds or depressions in the wafer surface. Normally absent, but if present are largely concentrated at perimeter of wafer. If present, estimate the % of speci ed area affected.

2-5.Misorientation
2-5.Misorientation In wafers cut intentionally “off orientation”, the angle between the projection of the normal vector to the wafers surface onto a {0001} plane and the projection on that plane of the nearest <11-20> direction.

5-6-3 SiC High-Temperature Signal-Level Devices
Most analog signal conditioning and digital logic circuits are considered “signal level” in that individual transistors in these circuits do not typically require any more than a few milliamperes of current and <20 V to function properly. Commercially available silicon-on-insulator circuits can perform complex digital and [...]

5-4-4-2 SiC Epitaxial Growth Polytype Control
5-4-4-2 SiC Epitaxial Growth Polytype Control Homoepitaxial growth, whereby the polytype of the SiC epilayer matches the polytype of the SiC substrate, is accomplished by “step-controlled” epitaxy . Step-controlled epitaxy is based upon growing epilayers on an SiC wafer polished at an angle (called the [...]

SiC Epilayers
Most SiC electronic devices are not fabricated directly in sublimation-grown wafers, but are instead fabricated in much higher quality epitaxial SiC layers that are grown on top of the initial sublimation grown wafer. Well-grown SiC epilayers have superior electrical properties and are more controllable [...]
