Silicon carbide, a new opportunity for the development of the power semiconductor industry

Power semiconductors (also known as power electronic devices) are used for power conversion and control current control. They are key components of power electronic systems and are used in power transmission and transformation and power consumption scenarios such as power supply, motor control, renewable energy, power transmission, and power traction.

The application of silicon carbide ceramics in the 5G era is essential

The core of the 5G era cannot be bypassed by semiconductor chips. The 1G to 5G mobile communication innovation is generally an upgrade of software and hardware, and silicon carbide, as a new third-generation semiconductor material, contributes to the development of 5G mobile communications.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of silicon carbide compared with silicon nitride, aluminum oxide and zirconia

There are many comparisons in their performance books. The biggest disadvantage of silicon carbide is that it is difficult to sinter! Silicon nitride is more expensive!

A more efficient semiconductor material-silicon carbide

In power electronics, semiconductors are based on elemental silicon-but the energy efficiency of silicon carbide will be much higher. Physicists at the University of Basel, the Paul Scherrer Institute and ABB explained in the scientific journal "Applied Physics Letters" the reasons for preventing the combined use of silicon and carbon.
