5-5-3 SiC Contacts and Interconnect All useful semiconductor electronics require conductive signal paths in and out of each device as well as conductive interconnects to carry signals between devices on the same chip and to external circuit elements that reside off-chip. While SiC itself is theoretically capable [...]

1-5.Thermal Expansion Coefficient Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature. When a substance is heated, its particles begin moving more and thus usually maintain a greater average separation. Materials which contract with increasing temperature are [...]

5-1 Introduction
5-1 Introduction Silicon carbide (SiC)-based semiconductor electronic devices and circuits are presently being developed for use in high-temperature, high-power, and high-radiation conditions under which conventional semiconductors cannot adequately perform. Silicon carbide’s ability to function under such extreme conditions is expected to enable significant improvements to a far-ranging variety [...]
