Silicon Carbide Technology Overview
After several years of research and development, Silicon Carbide has emerged as a prominent successor to conventional silicon in the field of power electronics due to its exceptional advantages. Silicon carbide material improves the efficiency of semiconductor devices and also facilitates usage of devices with much smaller form factor. The chemical and electronic properties of Silicon carbide translate to features which are useful for semiconductors especially in high power applications. These features include inherent radiation-resistance, high-temperature operating capacity, high voltage and power handling capacity. The use of SiC spec... view moreĀ»
