CVD Equipment receives multi order for SiC growth systems

Order for ten PVT-150 systems will be used to grow 150 mm monocrystalline SiC boules
US-based CVD Equipment Corporation, a provider of chemical vapour deposition systems, has received an additional order for ten high performance PVT-150 systems. The systems will be used to grow 150 mm diameter monocrystalline SiC boules, which are subsequently processed into SiC wafers.
The systems are scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2023.
CVD Equipment says that as the demand for SiC devices for high power electronics continues to increase, PVT (physical vapour transport) is the leading manufacturing method used to grow SiC boules for wafer production. The company presently offers 150 mm crystal growth systems, and has plans to support the evolution to systems of 200 mm and above.
“CVD Equipment Corporation is ramping-up our commercialisation of the PVT systems to meet the growing needs of the High-Power electronics industry. Our 40 year legacy of developing process equipment and our vertical integration has positioned us as a leading manufacturer of high quality SiC PVT systems. Our sights are set to facilitate the industry’s growth and electrification of the future.” said Emmanuel Lakios, president, and CEO of CVD Equipment Corporation.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
