For many processes in semiconductor production, compo-nents made from specialty graphites are indispensable, e.g. in crystal growing or subsequent finishing by epitaxy, ion implantation or plasma etching, and also in the production of LED chips. This is because the processes usually operate at very high temperatures and in an extremely corrosive envi-ronment: at the same time, high purity and absolute precision are required.

For the challenging processes of semiconductor production, we offer reliable solutions with specialty graphites.

b Meander heater for CZ units

c Graphite rigid felt cylinder for insulation of converters

In Siemens reactors and STC-TCS converters for recycling process gases, temperatures up to 1000 °C (1800 °F) and a highly corrosive environment prevail. Our graphite components perform impressively well here because they are extremely resistant to heat and corrosion.

For many years now, we have been supplying polysilicon manufacturers with a range of plant components.These include purified electrodes for polysilicon deposition, heaters, gas ducts for STC-TCS converters, heat shields and thermal insulation components.

Our experts select the best materials for the specific require-ments and operating conditions and manufacture tailored products from them. With our newly developed shaping and connecting solutions, for example, we can supply converter insulation in virtually any length and diameter. To increase the service life of highly stressed components – like those in converters – we offer special silicon carbide (SiC) coatings.

c Graphite components for CZ units c Support crucible made from C/C c Rigid felt cylinder for insulation

Whichever process is used for growing single crystals (HEM for sapphire, CZ for silicon or PVT for SiC), it always operates at very high temperatures in an aggressive environment. To meet these challenges, the high-temperature zone (“hot zone”) in the furnace consists almost entirely of heat- and corrosion- resistant graphite components.

SGL Group produces all the graphite components for crystal growing units of every kind – either individually or as a set.

These include heaters, crucibles, reflectors, and heat shields made from high-strength, homogeneous fine-grain graph-ite or carbon fiber-reinforced carbon, as well as insulating components produced from graphite felts. We select the best materials in the highest purity (ash value < 5 ppm) to suit the particular type of crystal growing unit. To extend the service life of highly stressed components, we supply special SiC coatings. For these, we use the specially suitable isostatic graphites R6510 and R6810.

Before becoming a finished semiconductor product, a wafer passes through numerous steps. One increasingly important process is silicon epitaxy, in which the wafers are carried on graphite susceptors. The properties and quality of the suscep-tors have a crucial effect on the quality of the end product.

Our SiC-coated graphite susceptors offer the particular advantages of extremely high purity, homogeneous coating, and an excellent service life.In addition, they have high chemical resistance and thermal stability. The SiC coating is applied homogeneously to very close tolerances. High-precision machining ensures a uniform susceptor profile. For inductively heated systems, we also produce material with optimum electrical resistance. The fin-ished components are supplied with a purity and dimensional compliance certificate.

SGL Group supplies susceptors and graphite components for all current epitaxy reactors.Our portfolio includes barrel susceptors for Applied Materials, Moore and LPE reactors, pancake susceptors for LPE, CSD, and Gemini units, and single-wafer susceptors for Applied Materials and ASM units. All our susceptors are produced from high-strength, isosatic graphite. In addition, we manu-facture components for ion implantation from specially suitable high-purity isostatic graphite. Thanks to our exhaustive quality controls, we offer our custo-mers top-quality products that are fully traceable. We are also continually developing our materials and products further in close collaboration with manufacturers and operators of epitaxy units.

During the extensive coating process in the MOCVD reactor, the substrate wafers are supported by rotating susceptors or carriers. The properties of the susceptor material have a key in-fluence on coating quality and therefore on the chip reject rate.

Our SiC-coated susceptors help ensure efficient manufacture of high-quality LED wafers with low wavelength deviation.Many important factors contribute to this, such as the very high purity and uniform thermal conductivity of both our iso-static graphite and the SiC coating. We use specially selected graphite grades for our susceptors and carriers. High-precision machining and homogeneous coating ensure that the wafer carrier pockets have a uniform profile and minimum flatness deviation. Thanks to our exhaustive quality controls, we offer our customers top-quality products that are fully traceable.

We are also continually developing our materials and compo-nents further in close collaboration with manufacturers and operators of MOCVD units.Together we want to increase chip yield in the production of LED wafers and further minimize wavelength deviation. In addition to susceptors and carriers, we also supply other graphite components for all current MOCVD reactors. Nearly every component can be SiC-coated, even with diameters exeeding 1 m (3').

Full service partner to manufacturers of furnace equipment A furnace manufacturer previously used to buy “hot zone” components individually, assemble them at his factory, then deliver the finished product. This process extended beyond core competencies, was complex, and delayed lead times. Together we have optimized this process. Today, we manufacture the required products, assemble them, and often supply direct to end customers all over the world This saves our customer time and money.

This is just one example of an application-specific optimized solution from the SGL Group.

Our SIGRAFINE materials span the complete range of fine-grain graphites from isostatic and extruded to vibration-molded graphites.For the many different applications in the semiconductor indu stry, we supply the optimum material in the usual market sizes.For heater systems, certain of our isostatic and extruded graphite grades are suitable. Very long tubes can be produced in one piece with excellent results from extruded graphite. For extra-large components, we offer special vibration-molded and isostatic graphite grades.

All components produced from the above-mentioned materials can be supplied, if necessary, in extremely high purity and generally also with a SiC coating. We generally use isostatic graphites with a suitable thermal expansion coefficient as a substrate for SiC coating, but can use other graphites or carbon/carbon materials as well to satisfy specific customer requirements.

Our soft felts offer a unique combination of thermal, chemical and textile properties. This makes them highly suitable for insulation of Czochralski crystal growing units.

Thanks to their special manufacturing process, our SIGRATHERM graphite soft felts have very low thermal conductivity.They also have the unique advantage of an extremely homo-geneous thickness and density distribution throughout the roll length. As a result, our soft felts guarantee a uniform and consistently high insulating effect. Our SIGRATHERM graphite soft felts are also supplied in ultra-high purity and special customer-tailored dimensions.
