PG - Pyrolytic Graphite

Pyrolytic graphite is a new type of carbon-based material formed by the chemical vapor deposition of high-purity hydrocarbon gases onto a graphite substrate at temperatures of 1800°C to 2000°C under controlled furnace pressure. It consists of highly oriented pyrolytic carbon with a strong crystalline texture. It features high density, high purity, and pronounced anisotropy in its thermal, electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties.

Characteristic

High Purity: Dense, pore-free surface with no impurity release at high temperatures.

High-Temperature Resistance: Strength increases with temperature, reaching a maximum at around 2750°C, and sublimates at approximately 3600°C.

Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance: Low elastic modulus, high thermal conductivity, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion.

Excellent Chemical Stability: Resistant to corrosion from acids, alkalis, salts, and organic reagents.

Application field solutions

Semiconductor Wafer Carrier Coating: Applied as a dense protective layer on wafer carriers to prevent direct contact between the carrier and wafers, reducing scratches, metal ion contamination, and particle generation.

Coating for Critical Semiconductor Equipment Components: Used as surface coatings for CVD reactor liners, ion implantation chamber parts, and high-temperature annealing furnace components.

Filter Coating Deposition Applications: Used in vacuum evaporation coating systems, it exhibits excellent stability under high-temperature and high-vacuum conditions without releasing impurities or causing outgassing, thereby ensuring high film purity and consistent coating quality.

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Equipment: Applied as a coating for graphite tubes in atomic absorption spectrometers. Compared with standard graphite tubes, it provides superior resistance to oxidation and chemical corrosion.
