SiC coated graphite PERMA KOTE™

With the rapid progress in higher density semiconductor products, high purified graphite has grown in demand so as to reduce gas desorption of carbon surfaces as well as the amount of dust and impurities. Made by depositing a SiC layer on isotropic graphite using CVD process, PERMA KOTE™ is widely used in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.

Pancake susceptor

The susceptors used in processes that form the epitaxial layer on semiconductor wafers, whether pancake type or barrel type, barrel, require an SiC coated graphite.

Barrel susceptor

PERMA KOTE™ is a graphite product coated with high purified SiC, which has high heat and corrosion resistance.

Characteristics

• The silicon carbide layer has excellent oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and chemical resistance.
• The silicon carbide layer is stable at high temperatures and is extremely hard.
• Prevents the parting and scattering of graphite particles, and the emission of gas and impurities from the graphite substrate.
• Both the graphite substrate and silicon carbide layer are of high purity.
• Both the graphite substrate and silicon carbide layer have a high thermal conductivity, and excellent heat distribution properties.
• Material is designed so that cracks and delamination do not occur.

Application

• Susceptor for silicon epitaxial growth
• Single crystal silicon manufacturing equipment
• MOCVD susceptors
• Heaters
• Heat spreaders
• Oxidation resistance components
