CVD SiC Coating

Introduction to Silicon Carbide Coating 

Our Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Silicon Carbide (SiC) coating is a highly durable and wear-resistant layer, ideal for environments demanding high corrosion and thermal resistance. Silicon Carbide coating is applied in thin layers on various substrates through the CVD process, offering superior performance characteristics.


Key Features

         ● -Exceptional Purity: Boasting an ultra-pure composition of 99.99995%, our SiC coating minimizes contamination risks in sensitive semiconductor operations.

       ● -Superior Resistance: Exhibits excellent resistance to both wear and corrosion, making it perfect for challenging chemical and plasma settings.
       ● -High Thermal Conductivity: Ensures reliable performance under extreme temperatures due to its outstanding thermal properties.
       ● -Dimensional Stability: Maintains structural integrity across a wide range of temperatures, thanks to its low thermal expansion coefficient.
       ● -Enhanced Hardness: With a hardness rating of 40 GPa, our SiC coating withstands significant impact and abrasion.
       ● -Smooth Surface Finish: Provides a mirror-like finish, reducing particle generation and enhancing operational efficiency.


Applications

Semicera SiC coatings are utilized in various stages of semiconductor manufacturing, including:

       ● -LED Chip Fabrication
       ● -Polysilicon Production
       ● -Semiconductor Crystal Growth
       ● -Silicon and SiC Epitaxy
       ● -Thermal Oxidation and Diffusion (TO&D)

 

We supply SiC-coated components crafted from high-strength isostatic graphite, carbon fiber-reinforced carbon and 4N recrystallized silicon carbide, tailored for fluidized-bed reactors, STC-TCS converters, CZ unit reflectors, SiC wafer boat, SiCwafer paddle, SiC wafer tube, and wafer carriers used in PECVD, silicon epitaxy, MOCVD processes.
