Through robust process controls, our tools achieve temperature and pressure stability throughout long growth runs. Precision temperature controls +/- 0.5°C and precision pressure controls +/- 1% facilitate the reliable production of low-defect SiC boules.

CVD Equipment Corporation can provide you with the highly engineered systems your organization needs to reliably produce high quality SiC boules required to keep up with critical high-volume manufacturing.

Our turnkey solutions have the latest safety innovations and a wide array of system features and benefits that will support your production, pilot and research and development needs. We offer 150 mm and 200+ mm crystal growth systems.

powered by CVDWinPrC

Powered by our CVDWinPrC™ process control software, the systems automatically log data and graphically show time-dependent values of user-selected parameters. CVDWinPrC™ also allows users to load preprogrammed recipes, modify, check, and create new recipes, and view real-time or saved process data.

Safety Protocols

The systems have application-configured safety protocols embedded into relay logic, PLC, and CVDWinPrC™ software.
