Major Breakthrough in Domestic Semiconductor Equipment! Shandong Liguan Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. Launches 12-inch Liquid Phase SiC Crystal Growth Furnace
The rapid development of new energy vehicles, 5G communications and related industries has driven sustained growth in demand for silicon carbide (SiC) substrates, making large-diameter, high-yield crystal growth technology a core competitive focus in global semiconductor equipment.
Following the mass production of its 8-inch LPE method SiC crystal growth furnace, Shandong Liguan Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shandong Liguan") is now accelerating R&D on 12-inch LPE method SiC growth equipment. Leveraging its independently developed process systems, the company is injecting new momentum into China's semiconductor equipment localization efforts.
In-Depth Analysis of LPE method SiC Crystal Growth Technology
Compared to the mainstream Physical Vapor Transport method (PVT), the Top Seeded Solution Growth technique (TSSG) - the most widely adopted liquid-phase method - demonstrates remarkable technical advantages through its unique working mechanism:
Growth Rate Enhancement:
Under laboratory conditions, the liquid-phase method achieves growth rates of 0.3-1.5 mm/h, representing a 1.5-3× improvement over PVT's 0.1-0.5 mm/h range.
Energy Efficiency Optimization:
The liquid-phase process operates at 300-500°C lower temperatures (1500-1800°C vs. PVT's 2000-2300°C), theoretically reducing energy consumption by 20-30%.
Defect Control Capability:
The solution environment inherently suppresses thermal stress and defect propagation, achieving dislocation densities <1×10? cm?² in lab conditions (exceptional cases <200 cm?²) - significantly superior to PVT's typical （>5×10? cm?²）.
Diameter Scaling Potential:
Dynamic control technologies in liquid-phase growth enable easier large-diameter crystal production, whereas PVT's vapor transport mechanism
demands extreme thermal field uniformity, resulting in prolonged scaling cycles and pronounced edge defects.
p-Type Doping Advantage:
The low-temperature solution system allows precise aluminum (Al) doping control, achieving resistivities as low as 0.1 Ω·cm (vs. ~2.5 Ω·cm for PVT).
Technical Challenges:
The liquid-phase method requires exacting control of Melt composition，Temperature gradients，Seed crystal interface stability With highly coupled process parameters demanding advanced equipment design and extensive process expertise.
Key strengths of Shandong Liguan's12-inch SiC liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) method growth furnace.
Synergy of Large Size and High Yield: The equipment supports the growth of 12-inch SiC single crystals. Through multi-temperature zone collaborative control technology, it achieves high-precision control of the temperature gradient at the growth interface, solving the problems of crystal form mixing and crystal cracking.
Self-Developed and Controllable Technology System: Special crucible design and inert gas protection system are adopted to prevent impurity contamination and reduce impurity residue. Its independently developed full closed-loop control growth system can monitor in real time issues such as growth rate and weight.
Shandong Liguan's Technological Expertise and Market Validation
Shandong Liguan's products cover the first to the fourth generation of semiconductor material process equipment, all of which have independent intellectual property rights and are fully controllable. The products are widely used in the manufacturing fields of new electronic devices such as integrated circuits, power semiconductors, compound semiconductors, 5G chips, optical communications, and MEMS.
The company can provide customers with an integrated solution of "equipment manufacturing + process technology services". Its key technologies have broken the monopoly of the United States and Japan, achieving domestic substitution, and the stability and uniformity of its production process have reached the international leading level. Some of our flagship products have a domestic market share of 95% and are exported to countries such as South Korea and Singapore.
Industry Value and Future Prospects
The launch of 12-inch liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) method growth equipment marks a pivotal leap for domestic semiconductor tools in SiC – from import substitution to autonomous innovation. Through technological iteration and industrial chain collaboration, Shandong Liguan is advancing domestic equipment into high-value segments, providing core manufacturing support for the scaled application of third-generation semiconductors.
