5-3 Applications and Benefits of SiC Electronics

Two of the most beneficial advantages that SiC-based electronics offer are in the areas of high-temperature

and high-power device operation. The specific SiC device physics that enables high-temperature and

high-power capabilities will be examined first, by several examples of revolutionary system-level

performance improvements these enhanced capabilities enable.

SiC Epilayers

Most SiC electronic devices are not fabricated directly in sublimation-grown wafers, but are instead fabricated in much higher quality epitaxial SiC layers that are grown on top of the initial sublimation grown wafer. Well-grown SiC epilayers have superior electrical properties and are more controllable [...]
