Thirty years ago the crystal growth equipment was very own made. Today one can have such in quantities. The main importance is the process. Now such basic process comes with equipment and includes hot-zone.
For SiC to progress and make more impact in growing application verticals, there should be more wafers available and having traceability. The applications can be developed and having relevant motivation to be part of a market. More availability, lower cost and higher standardization will unleash the future potential of SiC..
Next comes alternative technologies using alterntives to wafers. Interested in online workshop to discuss the manufacturing future from R&D? Contact us and we plan session in topic of interest and invite from the SiC network.
