Features Of SiC Seed Crystal 155

  1. High-purity single-crystal silicon carbide (≥99.999% SiC) with controlled 4H polytype dominance.

  2. Optimized surface flatness (Ra < 0.3 nm) and low microroughness for reliable epitaxial nucleation.

  3. Consistent crystallographic orientation (c-axis normal, ±0.1° off-axis tolerance) ensuring uniform growth initiation.

  4. Low dislocation density (< 500 cm⁻²) verified by KOH etch pit density (EPD) analysis.

  5. Thermally stable up to 2200 °C in inert or vacuum environments without decomposition or phase segregation.

Typical Applications Of SiC Seed Crystal 155

  1. Substrate for homoepitaxial growth of high-voltage SiC power devices (MOSFETs, Schottky diodes).

  2. Seed material in physical vapor transport (PVT) crystal growth furnaces for bulk SiC boule production.

  3. Reference standard in R&D labs for SiC crystal quality benchmarking and process validation.

  4. Base wafer for advanced heterostructure integration in wide-bandgap semiconductor research.

  5. Calibration component in high-temperature XRD and synchrotron-based structural characterization setups.

SiC Seed Crystal 155 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for SiC Seed Crystal 155?

A: Silicon carbide as a compound has CAS No. 409-21-2; however, SiC Seed Crystal 155 is a manufactured crystalline product — not a chemical substance per se — and therefore does not carry a unique CAS number. Batch-specific CoA and traceability documentation are provided with each shipment.


Q2: Is there a recommended minimum usage temperature or ramp rate when loading into a PVT furnace?

A: Yes. Preheat the seed to ≥800 °C under inert gas (Ar or N₂) before introducing to high-temperature zone; recommended ramp rate ≤10 °C/min below 1200 °C to minimize thermal stress-induced microcracking.


Q3: How does SiC Seed Crystal 155 differ from standard SiC substrates used for device fabrication?

A: Unlike device-grade wafers, SiC Seed Crystal 155 features enhanced axial symmetry, ultra-low EPD, and optimized off-cut geometry specifically for bulk crystal propagation — not direct device processing. It lacks device-layer doping or metallization and undergoes stricter thermal history screening.


Q4: Are there any known extractables or leachables under high-temperature vacuum conditions?

A: No measurable volatile species (e.g., SiO, C₂, Si₂C) are observed below 2000 °C in high-vacuum (<10⁻⁵ mbar) environments. Residual surface carbon or silicon oxide contaminants are removed via in-situ H₂ annealing prior to growth — confirmed by residual gas analysis (RGA) data included in technical dossiers.
