Features Of SICC 6" 4H-SiC U-Grade Silicon Carbide Substrate

  1. Ultra-high purity (U-Grade) with total metallic impurity concentration < 1 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³, optimized for high-frequency and high-power device fabrication.

  2. Precision-polished epi-ready surface with RMS roughness ≤ 0.2 nm over full 6-inch diameter, enabling uniform epitaxial growth.

  3. Crystallographically stable 4H polytype with off-axis orientation of 4° toward [11̅20], ensuring step-flow growth mode compatibility.

  4. Low micropipe density (< 0.1 cm⁻²) and negligible basal plane dislocation clusters, supporting high-yield GaN-on-SiC and SiC power device processing.

  5. Thermally robust substrate with excellent dimensional stability up to 1600 °C in inert or vacuum ambient.

Typical Applications Of SICC 6" 4H-SiC U-Grade Silicon Carbide Substrate

  1. High-voltage (>1.2 kV) silicon carbide MOSFETs and Schottky barrier diodes for EV traction inverters and onboard chargers.

  2. RF power amplifiers operating at mmWave frequencies (24–40 GHz) in 5G base station infrastructure.

  3. Heteroepitaxial GaN-on-SiC platforms for high-efficiency power electronics and RF front-end modules.

  4. Radiation-hardened microelectronics for aerospace and satellite power management systems.

  5. High-temperature sensors and MEMS devices requiring stable electrical performance beyond 300 °C.

SICC 6" 4H-SiC U-Grade Silicon Carbide Substrate – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does SICC 6" 4H-SiC U-Grade have a CAS Registry Number?

A: Yes — CAS No. 409-21-2 applies to crystalline silicon carbide (SiC) as a chemical substance; this identifier covers the bulk material composition of the substrate.


Q2: Is there any risk of elemental leaching or migration from the substrate into epitaxial layers during high-temperature processing?

A: No significant migration occurs under standard epitaxial conditions (≤ 1600 °C, inert/vacuum). U-Grade purity ensures minimal transition metal contamination, and SiC’s covalent lattice structure exhibits negligible elemental diffusion into overgrown GaN or SiC layers.


Q3: How does SICC U-Grade differ from standard A-Grade or B-Grade SiC substrates?

A: U-Grade features stricter impurity control (< 1 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ metallic impurities vs. ≥ 1 × 10¹⁶ cm⁻³ for A-Grade), lower micropipe density, tighter thickness uniformity (±10 µm vs. ±25 µm), and enhanced surface planarity—critical for sub-10 nm epitaxial layer control.


Q4: Are certificates of analysis (CoA) and material traceability provided with each wafer shipment?

A: Yes — Each lot includes a full CoA listing individual wafer ID, crystallographic verification (XRD rocking curve FWHM), surface roughness (AFM), resistivity, and impurity screening (GDMS), traceable to ISO/IEC 17025-accredited labs.
