Chemical vapor deposition silicon carbide (CVD SiC) is a silicon carbide material prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology. Chemical vapor deposition is the process of using gaseous silicon sources (such as silane, dichlorosilane, etc.) and carbon sources (such as methane, ethylene, etc.) to react chemically under high temperature and catalyst to deposit and react on the surface of the substrate to form a silicon carbide film or coating.
In terms of preparation process, the substrate is placed in a high-temperature reactor, and silicon source and carbon source gases with precise proportions are introduced, and hydrogen is introduced as a carrier gas and reaction promoter. Under high temperature (usually 1000-1500℃), the gaseous source material decomposes, and silicon and carbon atoms adsorb, migrate and react chemically on the surface of the substrate, gradually depositing to form silicon carbide. This process can accurately control the growth rate, thickness and crystal structure of silicon carbide, thereby producing high-quality products.
CVD SiC has excellent performance characteristics. In terms of mechanical properties, it has extremely high hardness, with a Mohs hardness of 9.2 - 9.5, second only to diamond, and has excellent wear resistance and impact resistance; it has high bending strength and can withstand large external forces without breaking. In terms of thermal performance, it has high thermal conductivity, which can reach 490 - 670W/(m・K) at room temperature, which is conducive to rapid heat dissipation; the thermal expansion coefficient is low, which is only (2.7 - 4.0)×10^-6/℃ in the range of 100 - 1000℃, making it have good dimensional stability when the temperature changes, and it is not easy to produce stress deformation due to thermal expansion and contraction. In terms of chemical properties, CVD SiC has good chemical stability and strong corrosion resistance, and can resist the erosion of various strong acids, strong alkalis and high-temperature gases.
In the field of application, CVD SiC is widely used in the aerospace field to manufacture hot end parts of aircraft engines, such as combustion chamber liners, turbine blades, etc. Its excellent high temperature performance and mechanical properties can greatly improve the efficiency and reliability of the engine; in semiconductor manufacturing, it is used as a component of wafer carrier trays and etching equipment. Due to its good thermal stability and chemical stability, it can ensure that the process accuracy and product quality are not affected in the high-precision semiconductor manufacturing process; in the optical field, it can be used to make reflector substrates. With its high hardness, low thermal expansion coefficient and good optical properties, it can ensure that the reflector maintains a high-precision optical surface in different environments.
According to PACO Research, with the growing demand for high-performance materials in various industries, the CVD SiC market size continues to expand. The global CVD SiC market size in 2024 is about US$800 million. It is expected that by 2030, the market size will grow at a compound annual growth rate of about 9%, and is expected to exceed US$1.5 billion. Among them, North America and Europe account for about 60% of the global market share due to their advanced aerospace and semiconductor industries. With the rapid development of semiconductor, aerospace and other industries in the Asia-Pacific region, the market share is expected to rise rapidly.
Looking to the future, the development of CVD SiC will focus on further optimizing the preparation process, reducing production costs, and improving production efficiency, thereby expanding its application in more fields. At the same time, R&D personnel are also exploring the combination of CVD SiC with other materials to develop composite materials with better performance to meet the special material requirements of emerging technologies.
