The 6-inch Silicon Carbide (SiC) wafer is a next-generation semiconductor substrate designed for high-power, high-temperature, and high-frequency electronic applications. With superior thermal conductivity, wide bandgap, and chemical stability, SiC wafers enable the fabrication of advanced power devices that deliver higher efficiency, greater reliability, and smaller footprints compared to traditional silicon-based technologies.
SiC’s wide bandgap (~3.26 eV) allows electronic devices to operate at voltages exceeding 1,200 V, temperatures above 200°C, and switching frequencies several times higher than silicon. The 6-inch format offers a balanced combination of manufacturing scalability and cost-effectiveness, making it the mainstream size for industrial mass production of SiC MOSFETs, Schottky diodes, and epitaxial wafers.

The 6-inch SiC wafer is grown using Physical Vapor Transport (PVT)
or Sublimation Growth Technology. In this process, high-purity SiC
powder is sublimed at temperatures exceeding 2,000°C and
recrystallized onto a seed crystal under precisely controlled
thermal gradients. The resulting single-crystal SiC boule is then
sliced, lapped, polished, and cleaned to achieve wafer-grade
flatness and surface quality.
For device fabrication, epitaxial layers are deposited on the wafer surface via Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), enabling precise control over doping concentration and layer thickness. This ensures uniform electrical performance and minimal crystal defects across the entire wafer surface.
Wide Bandgap (3.26 eV): Enables high-voltage operation and superior power efficiency.
High Thermal Conductivity (4.9 W/cm·K): Ensures efficient heat dissipation for high-power devices.
High Breakdown Electric Field (3 MV/cm): Allows thinner device structures with lower leakage current.
High Electron Saturation Velocity: Supports high-frequency switching and faster response times.
Excellent Chemical & Radiation Resistance: Ideal for harsh environments such as aerospace and energy systems.
Larger Diameter (6-inch): Improves wafer yield and lowers per-device cost in mass production.
SiC in AR Glasses:
SiC materials improve power efficiency, reduce heat generation, and
enable thinner, lighter AR systems through high thermal
conductivity and wide bandgap properties.
SiC in MOSFETs:
SiC MOSFETs provide fast switching, high breakdown voltage, and low
loss, making them ideal for microdisplay drivers and laser
projection power circuits.
SiC in SBDs:
SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes offer ultra-fast rectification and low
reverse recovery loss, enhancing charging and DC/DC converter
efficiency in AR glasses.

Q1: What’s the difference between 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC wafers?
A1: 4H-SiC offers higher electron mobility and is preferred for
high-power, high-frequency devices, while 6H-SiC is suitable for
applications requiring higher breakdown voltage and lower cost.
