SiC Cantilever Paddle with CVD Coating for Horizontal Boat Loading
A Silicon Carbide (SiC) Cantilever Paddle is a high-performance ceramic structural component manufactured using reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RBSiC) process. It is primarily designed for carrying and transporting wafers in high-temperature process environments within the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries. It operates reliably in atmospheres containing oxygen, nitrogen, and trace hydrogen chloride, withstanding temperatures of approximately 1250°C for long-term stable operation. Leveraging the exceptional material properties of silicon carbide—extremely high hardness, high flexural strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, excellent thermal stability, and chemical inertness—the cantilever paddle ensures uniform heating, prevention of deformation, and reduction of contamination and particle generation in wafers under high temperatures. It significantly extends service life, increases load capacity and production efficiency, and reduces overall maintenance costs. Its lightweight design and high surface smoothness also support precise automated robotic handling, meeting high-precision process requirements.
