While semiconductor executives lament slow demand and excess inventories, one sector appears to be resilient: silicon carbide power circuits used in electric vehicles. But companies looking to capitalize on this market could run into complications as they transition to 200 mm wafers, prompting shares of Wolfspeed and STM to fall this week. Power Semiconductor Power …
Silicon carbide diamond is an exceptional material with exceptional wear resistance that is particularly appealing for applications involving wear resistance. Production can take place without pressure by infiltrating porous carbon bonded diamond preforms with liquid silicon. The infiltration process results in the formation of a dense graphitic layer at the diamond/silicon interface that offers exceptional …
If you want a truly secure grip on your pistol, there are a couple of solutions. Grip tape or epoxying silicon carbide might do the trick. This process uses high performance 2 part epoxy to cover areas where your hands contact the frame, before pouring granules of silicon carbide in any texture that suits you …
Silicon carbide whiskers are nano-sized single crystal fibers featuring an indefect-free crystal structure and excellent chemical resistance, used primarily to strengthen metal, ceramic and polymer composite materials and increase fracture toughness. After calcination, b-SiC whisker displays significant improvement with respect to stacking faults being eliminated and grain growth nuclei emerging, forming large tabular a-SiC grains …
An orchestra of events are necessary to ignite your gas furnace’s furnace flame and reach its target location – sparks from an silicon carbide hot surface ignitor (HSI) are essential in making this happen. HSIs are resistance heaters that glow red hot when voltage is applied. They typically last five to ten years before needing …

Inverters are an often-overlooked component of an electric vehicle (EV) powertrain. Their influence directly affects its efficiency, which in turn influences battery range and charging time. Silicon carbide power semiconductors have quickly become the go-to choice for electric vehicle inverters due to their superior performance over traditional silicon devices. In this article we explore five …
Silicon carbide igniters are hot surface ignition methods used to light gas furnaces and other equipment. They provide an alternative to spark ignition which may interfere with radio/TV reception as well as interfere with arc flash circuit interrupters. Silicon nitride (SN) igniters provide an easy upgrade from old style SC igniters, far exceeding them in …
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an extremely durable synthetically produced compound of silicon and carbon used in many industrial furnaces, from linings and heating elements to abrasives such as sandpaper. Due to its unique atomic structure, it functions as a semiconductor and allows for control over its electrical properties. Furthermore, its bandgap is three times wider …
Silicon carbide insulators are ceramic materials used in multiple applications. These insulators can withstand high temperatures and voltages while being resistant to acids and lyes. An insulator can be made to exhibit semi-conducting properties by doping its crystal structure with impurities, commonly referred to as doping. Asia Pacific Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an extremely strong …
