Silicon Carbide Wafer Production

Silicon carbide wafer production involves creating large, flat disks used in high-power electronic devices. The process begins with purifying silicon carbide crystals, often grown in controlled environments through methods like the sublimation technique or chemical vapor deposition. These crystals are then sliced into thin wafers using precision tools, followed by polishing to achieve a smooth, defect-free surface. The resulting wafers are used as a foundation for manufacturing durable, efficient semiconductors that can operate at high voltages, temperatures, and speeds, making them essential for advanced electronics, electric vehicles, and power systems.
