What Are The Main Characteristics Of SiC?

The combination of silicon and carbon provides this material with outstanding mechanical, chemical and thermal properties, including:

· High thermal conductivity

· Low thermal expansion and excellent thermal shock resistance

· Low power consumption and switching losses

· High energy efficiency

High operating frequency and temperature (operating at junction temperature up to 200°C)

Small chip size (with the same breakdown voltage)

· Intrinsic diodes (MOSFET devices)

Excellent thermal management reduces cooling requirements

· long life
