3-9. Comet Tails
Comet tails have a discrete head and trailing tail. These features are aligned parallel to the major at. Usually, all comet tails tend to be of the same length. Count once per occurrence. Two comet tails within 200 microns count as one.
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, [...]
5-5-6 SiC Device Packaging and System Considerations Hostile-environment SiC semiconductor devices and ICs are of little advantage if they cannot be reliably packaged and connected to form a complete system capable of hostile-environment operation. With proper material selection, modifications of existing IC packaging technologies appear [...]
2-16.Pits Individual distinguishable surface anomalies, which appears as a depression in the wafer surface with a lengthto-width ratio less than 5 to 1, and visible under high intensity illumination.
5-6-4 SiC High-Power Switching Devices The inherent material properties and basic physics behind the large theoretical benefits of SiC over silicon for power switching devices were discussed Section 5.3.2. Similarly, it was discussed in Section 5.4.5 that crystallographic defects found in SiC wafers and epilayers [...]
2-4.Wafer Surface Orientation Denotes the orientation of the surface of a wafer with respect to a crystallographic plane within the lattice structure. In wafers cut intentionally “off orientation”, the direction of cut is parallel to the primary at, away from the secondary at. Measured with [...]
5-6-1 SiC Optoelectronic Devices The wide bandgap of SiC is useful for realizing short-wavelength blue and ultraviolet (UV) optoelectronics. 6H-SiC-based pn junction light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were the first semiconductor devices to cover the blue portion of the visible color spectrum, and became the first SiC-based devices to [...]
