3-8. 3C Inclusions
Regions where step- ow was interrupted during epi layer growth. Typical regions are generally triangular although more rounded shapes are sometimes seen. Count once per occurrence. Two inclusions within 200 microns count as one.

2-10.Cracks A fracture or cleavage of the wafer that extends from the frontside surface of the wafer to the back-side surface of the wafer. Cracks must exceed 0.010” in length under high intensity illumination in order to discriminate fracture lines from allowable crystalline striations. Fracture [...]
2-23.Micropipe density A micropipe, also referred to as “micropore”, “microtube”, “capillary defect “or “pinhole defect”, is a crystallographic defect in a single crystal substrate.It is a important parameter to manufacturers of silicon carbide (SiC) substrates which are used in a variety of industries such as [...]
5-5 SiC Device Fundamentals To minimize the development and production costs of SiC electronics, it is important that SiC device fabrication takes advantage of existing silicon and GaAs wafer processing infrastructure as much as possible. As will be discussed in this section, most of the [...]
1-4.Density The mass density or density of a material is its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho). Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume:
2-31.N 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, [...]
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, [...]
