Introduction of Silicon Carbide Wafer Boat Carrier:

The Advantages of Silicon Carbide Boat Carriers in Semiconductor Manufacturing‌

In the fast-evolving semiconductor and photovoltaic industries, material innovation plays a pivotal role in enhancing process efficiency and product performance. Among critical components, silicon carbide boat carriers, also known as wafer boats or cassettes, have emerged as a superior alternative to traditional quartz or graphite carriers. With exceptional thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties, silicon carbide boat carriers deliver unmatched reliability and longevity in high-temperature semiconductor fabrication processes. Below, we explore the key advantages of silicon carbide boat carriers and their transformative impact on modern manufacturing.

Main feature of Silicon Carbide Wafer Boat Holder：

‌1. Superior Thermal Stability and Conductivity‌

Silicon carbide's ultra-high thermal conductivity (120-270 W/m·K) and low thermal expansion coefficient ensure minimal thermal stress even under rapid temperature fluctuations. Unlike quartz carriers, which are prone to warping or cracking at temperatures above 1,200°C, SiC boat carriers maintain structural integrity at temperatures exceeding 1,600°C. This makes them ideal for critical processes like chemical vapor deposition (CVD), epitaxial growth, and diffusion, where precise temperature control is essential. The material's thermal shock resistance also reduces downtime caused by carrier failure, boosting production throughput.

‌2. Enhanced Mechanical Robustness‌

SiC's inherent hardness (9.2-9.5 Mohs) and flexural strength (350-600 MPa) far exceed those of quartz or graphite. This mechanical durability translates to reduced particle generation and breakage during wafer handling, minimizing contamination risks. Semiconductor manufacturers benefit from extended carrier lifespans—up to 10 times longer than quartz alternatives—resulting in lower replacement costs and improved return on investment (ROI).

Silicon carbide wafer boat accessories have stable structure, good thermal stability of materials, and do not deform when used at high temperature. Silicon carbide wafer boat parts have a long service life. Silicon carbide wafer boat carrier effectively solves the problem of high photovoltaic cells. The problem of loss of load-bearing components under load capacity.

Application scope of Silicon Carbide Wafer Boat Holder：

Silicon carbide wafer boat accessories are suitable for key load-bearing components of photovoltaic-grade cell diffusion process equipment.
