Establishing a silicon wafer manufacturing plant requires an in-depth market study coupled with detailed knowledge of operational components such as production processes, sourcing of raw materials, ...

Wim Bogaerts, Professor in Silicon Photonics at Ghent University-IMEC, Founder of Luceda Photonics, explains how the ...

For the last year Japanese chemical company Resonac and Tohoku University have been exploring using SiC powder, produced from ...

There are fundamentally two ways to generate electricity. The first is based on electromagnetic induction, which remains the ...

What's a CPU made of? What's the difference between a CPU and a GPU? Read our layman's overview of the central processing unit, or CPU.

Single crystal electrodes in lithium-ion electric vehicle batteries enable them to last several times longer than existing technology.

Device level SiC wafers require a systematic process including single crystal growth, wire cutting, lapping or grinding, and chemical mechanical polishing. SiC wafers have important application ...

Researchers at the National Chin-Yi University of Technology in Taiwan have investigated how oxygen distribution may be adjusted in polysilicon production to manufacture wafers with a low ...

SiC epi-wafers are produced through deposition and growth of epitaxial SiC layer on the surface of single-crystal SiC substrate. “Epi requires demanding tools that are also expensive,” he added.

The Czochralski technique, in which a seed crystal is suspended in a molten bath of semiconductor-grade silicon and gently drawn while spinning under a protective environment, is often used to create ...
