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.
