Silicon carbide, commonly referred to as SSiC, is a hard, chemically inert material used in various applications including sandblasting nozzles and grinding wheels. Silicon Carbide can be machined in either its green or biscuit state; however, for precise tolerances to be reached it must first be sintered and processed using costly diamond grinding processes – …
Silicon carbide schottky diodes offer an alternative to conventional silicon devices, boasting lower forward voltage drops and greater operating temperatures tolerance, in addition to boasting high reverse breakdown voltages and providing superior surge current capability than regular silicon models. Wide band gap devices can be utilized in hard-switching applications like electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, …
With 36 years of experience working with silicon carbide, Cree/Wolfspeed believes it has the knowledge and capabilities needed to power everything from electric vehicles and fast chargers, 5G wireless infrastructure and renewable energy capture and storage applications. The Company boasts an expansive opportunity pipeline and is rapidly increasing capacity by opening new fabs and facilities, …
Silicon carbide hot surface ignitors have long been the go-to solution for gas furnace ignition. When powered up with 120 volts, they light up red-hot and ignite gas inside their burners – offering quieter and more reliable operation compared to spark ignition systems. Many HVAC construction technicians approach universal SiNi replacement igniters as if they …
Silicon carbide armor has been praised for saving lives during terrorist attacks, mass shootings and other high-risk situations. Due to its unique atomic structure and energy absorption properties, this material makes an excellent shield against projectiles that could otherwise strike at personnel. Silicon carbide has emerged as an attractive option due to its superior multi-hit …
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an intermetallic solid that lies somewhere between metals (which conduct electricity) and insulators, with wide band gaps and high electron mobility, making it an attractive material choice for power electronics applications. Silicon’s ability to resist chemical attack at high temperatures and its strength across a broad temperature range make it ideal …
Silicon carbide is an inert chemical compound with high melting and boiling points, that can be made into non-reactive ceramic plates used in bulletproof vests. As it’s also a semiconductor material, silicon carbide makes an excellent material choice. Due to its exceptional electrical properties, silicon has the potential to extend electric vehicle driving range by …
Wide bandgap power semiconductor devices such as silicon carbide MOSFETs have become an increasingly popular component in electronic circuit designs, as their superior performance over conventional silicon-based power semiconductors make them attractive solutions. MOSFETs consist of three terminals known as source, drain, and gate. Applying positive voltage to the gate creates an electric field which …
Fuji Silicon Carbide (SiC) guide rings are considered one of the highest quality materials available; their hardest and most durable material offers unparalleled abrasion resistance and diamond polishing to provide one of the smoothest rings available. Fuji’s secret to their strength lies in their deep-pressed ring design. This ensures better grip between rings and frames …
Silicon carbide is an exceptionally hard, crystalline ceramic with outstanding strength and thermal conductivity, capable of withstanding high temperatures without thermal expansion and chemical stability. Recently, we reported record-high isotropic room temperature phononic crystal thermal conductivity (k) values in wafer-scale 3C-SiC bulk crystals at temperatures greater than room temperature; our figure was over 50% higher …
