Silicon Carbide Semiconductor: Introduction

Silicon carbide is a hard, synthetically produced, crystalline compound of silicon and carbide, having chemical formula “SiC”

It occurs in nature as an extremely rare mineral moissanite. Grains of silicon carbide can be bonded together to form hard ceramics which can be used in applications requiring high endurance such as car brakes, car clutches, and ceramic plates in bulletproof vests.

Silicon carbide is also known as carborundum. Its powder has been mass produced since 1983 for use as an abrasive.

Characteristics of silicon carbide include:

High thermal conductivity of 120-270 w/mk

Low coefficient of thermal expansion of 04x 10^-6/°C

High maximum current density

Silicon carbide is generally suitable for high power applications where high current, high temperature, and high thermal conductivity is required
