The Taiko process thins silicon wafers using its principles, technical advantages and process origins.

The core material of PECVD graphite boat is high-purity isotropic graphite material (purity is usually ≥99.999%), which has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and density. Compared with ordinary graphite boats, PECVD graphite boats have many physical and chemical property advantages and are mainly used in the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries, especially in PECVD and CVD processes.

The four most powerful graphite manufacturers in the world: SGL, Toyo Tanso, Tokai Carbon, Mersen and their corresponding typical graphite and application areas.

With the development of the solar photovoltaic industry, diffusion furnaces and LPCVD furnaces are the main equipment for the production of solar cells, which directly affect the efficient performance of solar cells. Based on the comprehensive product performance and usage cost, silicon carbide ceramic materials have more advantages in the field of solar cells than quartz materials. The application of silicon carbide ceramic materials in the photovoltaic industry can greatly help photovoltaic enterprises reduce auxiliary material investment costs, improve product quality and competitiveness. The future trend of silicon carbide ceramic materials in the photovoltaic field is mainly towards higher purity, stronger load-bearing capacity, higher loading capacity, and lower cost.

In the process of growing silicon carbide (SiC) crystals via the Physical Vapor Transport (PVT) method, the extreme high temperature of 2000–2500 °C is a “double-edged sword” — while it drives the sublimation and transport of source materials, it also dramatically intensifies impurity release from all materials within the thermal field system, especially trace metallic elements contained in conventional graphite hot-zone components. Once these impurities enter the growth interface, they will directly damage the core quality of the crystal. This is the fundamental reason why tantalum carbide (TaC) coatings have become a “mandatory option” rather than an “optional choice” for PVT crystal growth.

As the 8-inch silicon carbide (SiC) process matures, manufacturers are accelerating the shift from 6-inch to 8-inch. Recently, ON Semiconductor and Resonac announced updates on 8-inch SiC production.
