    Abstract: In this current paper, oxygen content of a fine particle size SiC (H. C. Starck UF 25 Silicon Carbide) and coarser particle size SiC (Saint Gobain Silicon Carbide) were modified by using different concentrations of HF for etching. Fully dense silicon carbide ceramics (>99% th. density) were produced by the spark plasma sintering technique at 1950 °... Show More

    Abstract: Front-end manufacturing of power semiconductor devices requires numerous different processes and materials. To control the complexity of fully automated 300 mm manufacturing lines, which typically utilize closed wafer containers, so called FOUPs (Front Opening Unified Pod), a systematic FOUP management concept is mandatory. This concept has to fulf... Show More
