Type 3C-N silicon carbide (SiC) substrate is a semiconductor material with a cubic crystal structure, where "3C" stands for its cubic crystal system, while "N-type" refers to an N-type semiconductor formed by incorporating nitrogen (N) atoms. This substrate material plays an important role in the semiconductor industry, especially in applications where high temperature, high pressure and high frequency performance are strictly required.
Silicon carbide (SiC) substrate is the core material of recently developed wide band gap semiconductor, which is mainly used in microwave electronics, power electronics and other fields. It is the front end of the wide bandgap semiconductor industry chain and is the basic and key material. Silicon carbide substrates have a variety of crystal structures, the most common of which are hexagonal α-SiC (such as 4H-SiC, 6H-SiC) and cubic β-SiC (i.e. 3C-SiC).
1. High electron mobility: 3C-SiC has a relatively high electron mobility, which gives it an
advantage in processing high-speed electronic signals.
Specifically, its electron mobility can reach about 1100 cm^2/V·s,
which is much higher than traditional semiconductor materials such
as silicon.
2. Smaller band gap: Compared with other crystalline types of silicon carbide such as
4H-SiC and 6H-SiC, 3C-SiC has a smaller band gap (about 2.36 eV).
This feature enables the 3C-SiC device to have a smaller FN
tunneling current and higher reliability in the oxide layer
preparation, which helps to improve the yield of the device
product.
3. High thermal conductivity: silicon carbide materials generally have high thermal
conductivity, and 3C-SiC is no exception. High thermal conductivity
helps to better dissipate heat in high-power applications, reducing
heat accumulation and reducing dependence on cooling systems,
thereby significantly improving device efficiency and reliability.
4. High breakdown electric field: The breakdown electric field strength of 3C-SiC is also relatively
high, and it can withstand high voltages without breakdown. This
characteristic makes it have potential application value in high
voltage power electronics.
