PAM-XIAMEN Offers High Purity Semi-Insulating SiC substrate
Xiamen Powerway Advanced Material Co.,Ltd., a leading supplier of High Purity Semi-Insulating SiC substrate and other related products and services announced the new availability of size 2”&3”&4”&6” is on mass production by PVT. This new product represents a natural addition to PAM-XIAMEN’s product line. Dr. Shaka, said, “We are pleased to offer High Purity Semi-Insulating SiC substrate to our customers. 4H Semi-Insulating Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrates are available in on-axis orientation. From epitaxy process in our research, we found micropipe density normally is not main obstacle to grow high quality epi layers, instead, carbon inclusions because a problem, hence, we focus on control or remove wafer without or smaller carbon inclusions, so for research grade and production grade HPSI SIC, it can ensure high quality heteroepitaxy such as AlGaN/GaN structure”. Because of High Purity without any dopants, the substrate material keep high resistivity with good uniformity.
