Report Studies
• Silicon carbide (SiC) susceptors are critical components in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly in epitaxial growth processes for power electronics and LED production. These high-purity graphite components coated with SiC facilitate uniform heat distribution in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) systems. The pancake-type segment dominates with 62% market share due to its compatibility with single-wafer processing, though barrel-type susceptors are gaining traction for batch processing efficiency.
• Market expansion is driven by surging demand for wide-bandgap semiconductors in electric vehicles and renewable energy systems, where SiC devices enable higher efficiency. However, supply chain constraints for high-purity graphite and complex coating processes present challenges. Key players like Toyo Tanso and SGL Carbon are investing in capacity expansions, with Tokai Carbon recently commissioning a new production facility in 2023 to meet growing 200mm wafer demand.
