  • Publication number: 20230217558
    Abstract: A fast annealing equipment is applicable to the annealing treatment of silicon carbide wafers. The fast annealing equipment comprises a variable frequency microwave power source system, a resonant chamber heating system and a measurement and control system. The variable frequency microwave power source system uses a solid state power amplifier and has the flexibility of fast frequency sweep during heat treatment to compensate for resonant frequency changes due to load effect caused by temperature changes in a material to be annealed. In order to improve an energy efficiency and provide a sufficient microwave energy uniform area, the TM010 resonant chamber structure can be used to anneal 4-inch to 8-inch silicon carbide wafers. The measurement and control system combines software and hardware to form an automatic system with instant feedback to provide further flexibility, stability and reliability for the entire equipment.
