AYD Advanced Materials will attend ICSCRM 2026, held in Yokohama, Japan, from September 27 to October 2, 2026. The company will present high-purity carbon materials and engineered hot-zone components for semiconductor manufacturing, including CarboniteX® rigid insulation/felt systems, soft felt, surface-treatment options, and integrated insulation assemblies for crystal-growth and epitaxial processes.
ICSCRM 2026, the 23rd International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials, will take place at PACIFICO YOKOHAMA North. The event brings together researchers, equipment builders, materials companies, and industry partners working across SiC and related wide-bandgap semiconductor technologies.

Technical focus at the event
AYD's discussions will center on carbon insulation materials and engineered carbon components used in semiconductor hot zones. Key topics include CarboniteX® rigid insulation/felt systems, CarboniteX® soft felt, purified-grade material routes, and large-format formed components for demanding furnace environments.
- Rigid insulation and felt systems for SiC PVT, silicon CZ, epitaxy, and high-temperature vacuum processes.
- Purified carbon insulation grades designed for low-ash semiconductor applications.
- Surface options including graphite coating, graphite paper, carbon cloth, and C/C composite facing for gas-flow and erosion control.
- Traceability, UID marking, and batch-level process documentation from precursor to finished component.
Application priorities
SiC crystal growth requires thermal stability, cleanliness, and corrosion resistance under severe operating conditions. In PVT systems, insulation must withstand high temperatures and reactive vapor while limiting metallic impurity migration. Silicon crystal growth and epitaxial processes also place strong demands on hot-zone uniformity, low outgassing, and long-cycle stability.
AYD looks forward to exchanging application requirements with crystal-growth furnace builders, semiconductor materials producers, and research teams working on wide-bandgap semiconductor processes.
