Applications of Trex CVC™ Silicon Carbide Products

Trex's CVC SiC™ products, fabricated utilizing its patented CVC™ technology, are rapidly gaining acceptance in a number of high value added applications within the DoD and industry.

• CVC™ Semiconductor wafer processing equipment, especially etch where the material has demonstrated superior etch resistance
• Mirrors and optics (up to 1.5 meter)
• Nuclear fuel rod cladding
• Components for high temperature (up to 3600°F) applications/environments. Trex CVC SiC™ outperforms other silicon carbides by more than 1000°F.
• Ballistic applications
• CVC™ wafer processing components

Trex Advanced Materials: The Result

CVD SiC™ scale bar = 15 mm		Trex CVC SiC™ scale bar = 15 mm

Trex Proprietary CVC SiC™ is Free of Intrinsic Stress Resulting In:

• Uniform microstructure with uniform thermal performance across all axes
• Faster growth rate (about 5x CVD)
• High yields (nearly 100%)
• Ability to deposit complex shapes and structures
• Large size and thick parts
