What is SiC and why is SiC for power devices
Rugged and High Efficiency Silicon carbide (SiC) is a compound semiconductor material with the energy bandgap of 3.2eV. The wide bandgap of SiC enables it to withstand roughly 10 times of electric field compared to conventional Silicon semiconductor (bandgap = 1.1eV). The power devices are used to regulate the electric power (current and voltage). Ideally,
