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.

5-5-4 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 [...]
