basic information
**Abstract of the Lecture** Recently, due to the stable large-diameter production and mass production of SiC, the next processing processes have gained attention. Currently, SF6 is being considered as an etching gas from a cost perspective. This lecture will elucidate the smoothing mechanism of the SiC surface in NF3 gas and NF3/O2 mixed gas plasma, suppress the generation of spikes that hinder smoothing by lowering the gas pressure, and detail the effect of Ar on the smoothing of the SiC surface using NF3/Ar mixed gas plasma to also suppress pillar formation. Furthermore, the basic characteristics of the NF3 gas used will be mentioned, along with safety measures during its use. **Lecture Summary** SiC enables high-temperature operation above 400°C, which is impossible with Si, and is also energy-efficient, leading to its rapid adoption in the automotive, communications, and energy sectors. In polishing mass production lines, 3-inch to 4-inch wafers have become mainstream, and crystal manufacturers are also advancing the development of 6-inch wafers. However, SiC is hard and has excellent chemical resistance to acids and alkalis, requiring significantly more processing time compared to Si. In the latter part, the lecture will also cover the cleanliness differences due to various cleaning methods.
