2-6.Wafer Primary Flat
The flat of longest length on the wafer, oriented such that the chord is parallel with a specified low index crystal plane; major flat.
The primary at is the {10-10} plane with the at face parallel to the <11-20> direction.

5-5-4 Patterned Etching of SiC for Device Fabrication
5-5-4 Patterned Etching of SiC for Device Fabrication At room temperature, there are no known conventional wet chemicals that etch single-crystal SiC. Most patterned etching of SiC for electronic devices and circuits is accomplished using dry etching techniques. The reader should consult References 122–124 which contain summaries [...]

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 [...]

5-5-3 SiC Contacts and Interconnect
5-5-3 SiC Contacts and Interconnect All useful semiconductor electronics require conductive signal paths in and out of each device as well as conductive interconnects to carry signals between devices on the same chip and to external circuit elements that reside off-chip. While SiC itself is theoretically capable [...]
