Silicon Epitaxial Wafers
Silicon Epitaxial Wafer is made by adding multi-micrometer thick single silicon carbide crystal layers on top of a polished wafer. Precise control of thickness, doping (carrier concentration) and defect density is required to enable high yielding power devices from a semiconductor fabrication facility. Epitaxial is mainly done to enhance the functionality of wafers. In recent years, technology has become essential for the manufacturing of highly integrated semiconductor elements (ICs), image sensors (CIS), and specific power semiconductors.
