Overview of SiC Semiconductor Materials

Picture Keywords

With the maturation of the first and second generation semiconductor materials, the Si power devices currently in large-scale use have reached their performance bottlenecks. The improvement of the operating frequency, power, heat resistance temperature, energy efficiency, resistance to harsh environments and miniaturization of Si power devices is facing insurmountable bottlenecks.

Picture Keywords

In modern technology, more and more fields require third-generation semiconductors with high frequency, high power, high temperature resistance and good chemical stability. As an outstanding representative of third-generation semiconductors, SiC (Silcon carbide) is attracting more and more attention.

Picture Keywords

As a new type of semiconductor material, SiC has become an important semiconductor material for manufacturing short-wavelength optoelectronic devices, high-temperature devices, radiation-resistant devices and high-power/high-value electronic devices due to its excellent physical, chemical and electrical properties. Especially when applied under harsh and severe conditions, the characteristics of SiC devices far exceed those of Si devices and GaAs devices. Therefore, SiC devices and various sensors have gradually become one of the key components and are playing an increasingly important role.

Since the 1980s, especially since the first SiC substrate wafer entered the market in 1989, SiC devices and circuits have developed rapidly. In some fields, such as light-emitting diodes, high-frequency high-power and high-voltage devices, SiC devices have been widely applied commercially.
