CVD Equipment demonstrates single-crystal SiC boule growth in collaboration with Stony Brook
CVD Equipment Corp (CVDE) of Central Islip, NY, USA (a designer and maker of chemical vapor deposition, thermal processing, physical vapor transport, gas and chemical delivery control systems, and other equipment and process solutions for developing and manufacturing materials and coatings) has announced the successful growth of single-crystal silicon carbide (SiC) boules grown on CVDE physical vapor transport (PVT) systems and characterized by Stony Brook University (SBU) in support of their new ‘onsemi Research Center for Wide Bandgap Materials’.
The SiC boule was analyzed at SBU and determined to be 4H crystal structure, without any polytypes, and low defect density. CVDE reckons that this achievement strengthens its position as an equipment supplier for next-generation semiconductor manufacturing and emerging markets that rely on high-performance materials.
“Using the PVT systems developed by CVDE to successfully grow silicon carbide single-crystal boules under the auspices of the onsemi center is a natural evolution of the long-term collaboration between CVDE and SBU,” notes Michael Dudley, professor and director of the onsemi Research Center for Wide Bandgap Materials at Stony Brook. “The synergy of the expertise at CVDE in PVT systems and the prolific research background in silicon carbide and other wide-bandgap materials at SBU will propel the next generation of crystal growth technologies for silicon carbide and other wide-bandgap semiconductor materials,” he adds.
“We are pleased with our collaboration with Stony Brook University which enables the opportunity to demonstrate the performance of our physical vapor transport equipment and our commitment to enabling the next generation of silicon carbide technology,” says CVD Equipment’s president & CEO Manny Lakios.
