5-6-4-2 SiC High-Power Switching Transistors Three terminal power switches that use small drive signals to control large voltages and currents (i.e., power transistors) are also critical building blocks of high-power conversion circuits. However, as of this writing, SiC high-power switching transistors are not yet commercially [...]
Total Thickness Variation (TTV): The maximum variation in the wafer thickness. Total Thickness Variation is generally determined by measuring the wafer in 5 locations of a cross pattern (not too close to the wafer edge) and calculating the maximum measured difference in thickness. The [...]
3-7. ID Correct and Major Wafer Flat Both should be readily discernible.
2-33.P type A semiconductor has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors differ from metals in their characteristic property of decreasing electrical resistivity with increasing temperature.Semiconductors can also display properties of passing current more easily in one direction than the other, [...]
5-6-4 SiC High-Power Switching Devices The inherent material properties and basic physics behind the large theoretical benefits of SiC over silicon for power switching devices were discussed Section 5.3.2. Similarly, it was discussed in Section 5.4.5 that crystallographic defects found in SiC wafers and epilayers [...]
5-4-4-1 SiC Epitaxial Growth Processes An interesting variety of SiC epitaxial growth methodologies, ranging from liquid-phase epitaxy, molecular beam epitaxy, and chemical vapor deposition(CVD) have been investigated . The CVD growth technique is generally accepted as the most promising method for attaining epilayer reproducibility, quality, [...]
