3. Various applications
-
- 1. Semiconductor
- SiC coated purified graphite is used for susceptors in a Semiconductor manufacturing process like Si-epitaxial growth systems where high purity is required. Moreover, high heat resistance graphite plays an active role as furnace parts such as heater for single crystal silicon pulling system.
-
- 2. Solar cells
- Solar cells receive remarkable attention among clean energy. Graphite and C/C composite are widely used in the process for manufacturing solar cells including Crystal type, Thin-film type, and new generation type and so on.
-
- 3. Compound Semiconductor
- Our SiC coated graphite susceptors and other graphite parts are used for manufacturing compound semiconductor materials such as LED(Light-Emitting Diode), LD(Laser Diode), SiC Power devices etc. which is expected to grow.
-
- 4.Cleaners, Power tools
- Motors are used in various scenes in our daily life.Carbon is used as "Brush", a part of the motors, for its excellent wear resistance and commutation properties.
-
- 5.Pantograph slider for Electric Train
- Copper-alloy-impregnated carbon, which has high strength and low electric resistivity, is used for "Pantograph sliders" for Electric Train.
-
- 6. Various mechanical applications
- Carbon plays an important role as Piston Ring for compressors, Packing, Mechanical Seals for its excellent self-lubricating property, chemical resistance and heat resistance.
-
- 7. Metallurgy (Continuous casting)
- Taking advantage of the way it is not wet by molten metal, graphite is used for continuous casting dies in metal casting operations.
-
- 8. Atomic power Reactor
- In addition to the many unique characteristics of graphite, its radiation resistance and plasmatic property make it highly applicable with high temperature gas reactors and nuclear fusion reactors, hence Toyo Tanso material and experience are well sought in these fields.
