Silicon carbide has thrice the thermal conductivity, thrice the band gap, and ten times ten times the critical electric field strength than that of silicon. Thus, there is increasing adoption of silicon carbide semiconductors in power electronics.


This is expected to significantly drive the growth of silicon carbide. Semiconductor devices manufactured from silicon carbide exhibit tremendous speed, exceptional toughness, and therefore are considered to be a more efficient alternative to silicon. As a result, SiC diodes are already replacing silicon in the semiconductor industry.


Applications like power supplies and photovoltaic inverters are the significant drivers of the SiC semiconductor. Moreover, SiC power electronics is also adopted in electric vehicle charging, wind energy infrastructure and industrial motor drives.
