3-2. Scratches
Grooves or cuts below the surface plane of the wafer having a length-to-width ratio of greater than 5 to 1. Scratches are speci ed by the number of discrete scratches times the total length in fractional diameter.

5-4-2 Growth of 3C-SiC on Large-Area (Silicon) Substrates Despite the absence of SiC substrates, the potential benefits of SiC hostile-environment electronics nevertheless drove modest research efforts aimed at obtaining SiC in a manufacturable wafer form.Toward this end, the heteroepitaxial growth of single-crystal SiC layers on [...]
2-26.TTV 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.
5-4-5 SiC Crystal Dislocation Defects Table 5.2 summarizes the major known dislocation defects found in present-day commercial 4H- and 6H-SiC wafers and epilayers . Since the active regions of devices reside in epilayers, the epilayer defect content is clearly of primary importance to SiC device [...]
2-15.Orange Peel Visually detectable surface roughening when viewed under diffuse illumination.
3-3. Dimpling A texture resembling the surface of a golf ball. Speci ed in % affected area.
2-32.Semi-insulating Semi-insulating Doping with the impurities vanadium creates semi-insulating material of silicon carbide.
