Japan, Feb. 24 -- SICRYSTAL GMBH has got intellectual property rights for 'SiC CRYSTAL SUBSTRATE HAVING LATTICE PLANE ORIENTATION OPTIMUM FOR CRACK REDUCTION, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF.' Other related details are as follows:

Application Number: JP,2021-115838

Category (FI): C30B29/36@A

Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a single crystal 4H-SiC substrate having a specific orientation of crystal structures that is set so as to reduce or even eliminate occurrence of cracks or fissures during mechanical processing, and a manufacturing method thereof.SOLUTION: A single crystal 4H-SiC substrate has a longitudinal axis C and a side face parallel to the longitudinal axis and curved at least partially. Crystal structures of the 4H-SiC substrate are oriented so that a line segment that crosses a parallel cleavage surface having at least a prescribed minimum number per unit length with a prescribed shape exists at each position on the side face of a semi-product with respect to the longitudinal axis, and the line segment is defined by a plane that is in contact with the side surface at one point at the position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13B (Grant)
