5-5-1 Choice of Polytype for Devices
5-5-1 Choice of Polytype for Devices As discussed in Section 4, 4H- and 6H-SiC are the far superior forms of semiconductor device quality SiC commercially available in mass-produced wafer form. Therefore, only 4H- and 6H-SiC device processing methods will be explicitly considered in the rest [...]

2-4.Wafer Surface Orientation
2-4.Wafer Surface Orientation Denotes the orientation of the surface of a wafer with respect to a crystallographic plane within the lattice structure. In wafers cut intentionally “off orientation”, the direction of cut is parallel to the primary at, away from the secondary at. Measured with [...]

2-21.Usable Area
2-21.Usable Area A cumulative subtraction of all noted defect areas from the frontside wafer quality area within the edge exclusion zone. The remaining percent value indicates the proportion of the frontside surface to be free of all noted defects (does not include edge exclusion).
