Silicon Carbide Substrate Grinding and Polishing

Product Features

JIZHI Electronics has developed a four-step SiC polishing process that combines different grades of grinding slurries, polishing slurries, and polishing pads (coarse grinding pad, fine grinding pad, rough polishing pad, and final polishing pad). This process improves the surface quality of silicon carbide substrates in grinding and polishing applications while significantly increasing the material removal rate.

Process and Applications

Suitable for SiC silicon carbide substrate DMP and CMP process flows, effectively improving efficiency and yield. The silicon carbide polishing slurries and polishing pads enable localized (domestic) replacement of imported products.

Recommended Products and Parameters for Silicon Carbide Grinding / Polishing Processes

Storage Method for JIZHI Electronics SiC Silicon Carbide Polishing Slurry

Store in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry warehouse. The product must be stored at 5–35 °C, protected from direct sunlight and from freezing. If stored below 0 °C, irreversible agglomeration may occur, rendering the product unusable.
