5-2-2-2 SiC Semiconductor Electrical Properties
Owing to the differing arrangement of Si and C atoms within the SiC crystal lattice, each SiC polytype
exhibits unique fundamental electrical and optical properties. Some of the more important semiconductor
electrical properties of the 3C, 4H, and 6H SiC polytypes are [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

2-21.Usable Area
A cumulative subtraction of all noted defect areas from the frontside wafer quality area within the edge exclusion zone. The remaining percent value indicates the proportion of the frontside surface to be free of all noted defects (does not include edge exclusion).

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 [...]

2-1.Wafer Diameter
The linear distance across the surface of a circular slice which contains the slice center and excludes any flats or other peripheral fiduciary areas. Standard silicon wafer diameters are: 25.4mm (1″), 50.4mm (2″), 76.2mm (3″), 100mm (4″), 125mm(5″), 150mm (6″), 200mm (8″), and [...]
