Sep 08,2022
Showa Denko, one of the world's major silicon carbide epitaxial wafer manufacturers, recently announced that the company's 8-inch silicon carbide epitaxial wafer samples have begun shipping.
According to the company statement, Showa Denko will begin to fully develop 8-inch silicon carbide wafers from 2021. The epitaxial wafers are prepared using the company's self-produced silicon carbide single crystal substrates. Self-produced substrates can ensure that the company can establish stable epitaxial wafers. film supply capacity.
Showa Denko also stated that the company will continue to promote technology research and development around the goal of reducing the defect density of silicon carbide substrates and epitaxial wafers by an order of magnitude by 2030.
