This article focuses on the TaC coating oxidation failure issue expanded upon in Chapter 3 of the pillar page. Combined with the actual operating conditions of SiC PVT crystal growth furnaces (ultra-high temperature, long cycle times, sealed hot zone), it breaks down the oxidation reaction kinetics and Pilling-Bedworth effect behind TaC being « afraid of oxygen, not heat, » and provides a trace-oxygen source troubleshooting checklist, engineering reference criteria for the chemical stability boundary, and a case study of troubleshooting abnormal crucible lifetime. Suitable for SiC PVT crystal growth furnace process and equipment engineers to reference directly in coating selection and furnace maintenance.
