Understanding the Adoption of Si, SiC, and GaN Wafers
The panel discusses how silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), and gallium nitride (GaN) materials influence semiconductor design choices, yield challenges, and supply chain risks.
Material selection impacts performance, cost, and supply stability. This episode details why silicon remains dominant, the niche advantages of SiC and GaN, and the specialized defect and purity controls needed to support next-generation applications.
Key discussion topics include:
- The benefits and trade-offs of wide bandgap materials.
- Impact of substrate defects on advanced device reliability.
- The importance of acoustic spectroscopy and recycling for GaN.
