Advantages of Silicon Carbide SiC
Silicon Carbide (SiC) material properties offer applications engineers numerous system-level optimization opportunities with its extremely high blocking voltage capacities and low specific on resistance properties. SiC can withstand up to 10 times greater electric fields than silicon, making it the perfect material for power electronics in demanding applications such as electrical motor control systems and terrestrial and space vehicles. High Temperature Silicon carbide sic is an ideal material to use in power semiconductor devices due to its high operating temperature. SiC’s wide band gap material can handle high currents and voltages at temperatures well beyond its melting point, enabling more efficient performance compared to devices made from silicon or gallium …
