Jingchi Electromechanical: 12-inch SiC Crystal Growth Furnace Passes International Customer's SAT Acceptance
On March 1st, according to the official WeChat account of Jingchi Electromechanical, the company has received multiple SAT (Safety Assurance Testing) acceptance notices from customers. These acceptances not only test the supplier's quality system but also send a clear signal: the industrialization of large-size crystal growth technology is accelerating at a faster pace than expected.
Mass production users have placed extremely high demands on the core performance indicators of growth equipment, including long-term operational stability, temperature field control precision, and crystal growth consistency. In multiple rounds of SAT process verification, Jingchi Electromechanical's 12-inch crystal growth furnace demonstrated excellent repeatability and reliability, with all data meeting customer acceptance standards and possessing the capability for rapid deployment to mass production lines.
Looking back on the past five years of rapid development in China's silicon carbide industry, domestically produced silicon carbide crystal growth furnaces have achieved a leap from following to surpassing, delivering impressive results. Jingchi Electromechanical consistently pursues excellence in quality and is committed to providing high-quality services to 80% of global users by 2026, jointly envisioning the future of SiC.
As silicon carbide materials continue to gain traction in new energy, optics, radio frequency, chips, and power grids, reducing substrate costs has become a core industry demand. 12-inch silicon carbide substrates represent a key breakthrough in the next generation of cost reduction strategies.
The growth of larger crystals presents exponentially greater challenges to temperature field uniformity, thermal stress control, and defect density suppression. The successful completion of this acceptance test demonstrates that CrystalMechanics has achieved a substantial breakthrough in the 12-inch technology roadmap, laying a solid foundation for subsequent large-scale mass production.
