  • 摘要: 4H-SiC作为功率电子和射频器件的衬底材料,其表面质量对器件性能至关重要。为了实现4H-SiC的高质高效抛光,从热力学、动力学角度出发,并结合4H-SiC表面与电解液界面的阻抗特性,系统探讨了电解液浓度对4H-SiC表面形貌演变及氧化物生成过程的作用机制,重点研究了电化学机械抛光(ECMP)过程中电解液浓度的关键作用。试验结果表明,使用0.1 mol/L的K2SO4电解液,表面氧化层生成速率与界面阻抗效应均达到最优水平,在优化参数条件下进行ECMP加工,能获得Sa 为0.343 nm的超光滑表面,材料去除率达到2.109 μm/h。研究结果为优化ECMP工艺参数、科学选择电解液浓度提供了重要理论依据。

     

    Abstract: As a substrate material for power electronic and radio-frequency (RF) devices, the surface quality of 4H-SiC is critical to device performance. To achieve high-quality and efficient polishing of 4H-SiC, this study systematically investigates the role of electrolyte concentration in surface morphology evolution and oxide formation from both thermodynamic and kinetic perspectives, in conjunction with the interfacial impedance characteristics between the 4H-SiC surface and the electrolyte. The study emphasizes the role of electrolyte concentration during the electrochemical mechanical polishing (ECMP) process. Experimental results demonstrate that when using 0.1 mol/L K2SO4 electrolyte, both the surface oxide film growth rate and the interfacial impedance effect reach optimal levels. Under the optimized parameter conditions, ECMP achieves an ultra-smooth surface with Sa of 0.343 nm and a material removal rate of 2.109 μm/h. These findings provide important theoretical guidance for optimizing ECMP process parameters and for the rational selection of electrolyte concentration.
