Material & Engineering Overview

Precision-grown and chemical-mechanical-polished (CMP) in a Class 100 cleanroom, our Single-Crystal 4H-SiC & 6H-SiC wafers & substrates (SiC (4H / 6H), CAS 409-21-2) substrates provide atomically smooth, epi-ready surfaces (Ra < 0.2–0.5 nm) for thin-film epitaxy, pulsed laser deposition (PLD), magnetron sputtering, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and optical characterization.

Wide-bandgap (3.26 eV for 4H-SiC) and ultra-high thermal conductivity (~370–490 W/m·K) make single-crystal SiC the premier substrate for GaN/AlN epitaxy, high-power electronics, and quantum color-center photonics. Standard research sizes include 5×5 mm, 10×10 mm, and 15×15 mm diced squares (0.5 mm or 1.0 mm thick) as well as Ø 1-inch, 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch wafers in single-side (SSP) or double-side (DSP) polished finishes, packed in individual waffle trays or nitrogen-sealed cassettes with batch orientation and surface inspection data.

Standard Shipment Documentation: Manufacturer Lot COA (crystal orientation X-ray verification, surface roughness Ra, thickness tolerance, and resistivity/doping if applicable).

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Are Single-Crystal 4H-SiC & 6H-SiC wafers & substrates (SiC (4H / 6H)) substrates ready for epitaxial deposition out of the box?
Yes. All epi-ready substrates are final CMP-polished and packaged in cleanroom waffle packs or sealed containers with sub-nanometer Ra roughness.
What tolerances apply to 10×10×0.5 mm diced SiC (4H / 6H) substrates?
Standard lateral dimensions are ±0.05–0.10 mm, thickness is ±0.02–0.05 mm, and crystal axis orientation accuracy is within ±0.5° (or ±0.1° on custom request).
Can I order custom sizes, thicknesses, or double-side polishing for TB-SUB-SIC?
Yes. Both single-side (SSP) and double-side (DSP) polished substrates as well as custom laser/wire-saw diced dimensions can be quoted with no high minimum order quantity.
