2-7.Primary Flat Orientation
The at of the longest length on the wafer, oriented such that the chord is parallel with a specied low index crystal plane. Measured on one wafer per ingot using Laue back-reection technique with manual angle measurement.
5-4-4-3 SiC Epilayer Doping In-situ doping during CVD epitaxial growth is primarily accomplished through the introduction of nitrogen (usually) for n-type and aluminum (usually trimethyl- or triethylaluminum) for p-type epilayers . Some alternative dopants such as phosphorus and boron have also been investigated for the [...]
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 [...]
2-27.BOW Bow is the deviation of the center point of the median surface of a free, un-clamped wafer from the median surface to the reference plane. Where the reference plane is defined by three corners of equilateral triangle. This definition is based on now obsolete [...]
2-25.FWHM Full width at half maximum (FWHM) is an expression of the extent of a function, given by the difference between the two extreme values of the independent variable at which the dependent variable is equal to half of its maximum value.
5-6-5 SiC MicroElectromechanical Systems (MEMS) and Sensors As described in Hesketh’s chapter on micromachining in this book, the development and use of siliconbased MEMS continues to expand. While the previous sections of this chapter have centered on the use of SiC for traditional semiconductor electronic [...]
2-24.Wafer Orientation Wafers are grown from crystal having a regular crystal structure, with silicon having a diamond cubic structure with a lattice spacing of 5.430710 Å (0.5430710 nm).When cut into wafers, the surface is aligned in one of several relative directions known as crystal orientations.
