SiC Cantilever paddle is being used in the diffusion coating furnace of the photovoltaic industry for coating monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon wafers. Its characteristic enables it to withstand high temperature and corrosion, giving it a long life span.
The SiC Cantilever paddle delivers SiC boats /quartz boats which carry silicon wafers into the high temperature diffusion coating furnace tube.
The length of our SiC Cantilever paddle ranges from 1,500 to 3,500 mm. SiC Cantilever paddle's dimension can be tailor made according to customer's specification.
