Silicon carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard synthetically produced crystalline compound of silicon and carbon that offers both excellent heat resistance and wide bandgap semiconductor characteristics, making it capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and voltages. As such, SiC finds use in many applications from wear-resistant parts for its hardness to refractories, ceramics and light emitting diode detectors in electronics devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Infineon Technologies
Silicon carbide has grown increasingly important in semiconductor technology. It offers several advantages over silicon, including higher efficiency and power density – two features which have made it a favorite choice for electric vehicle charging applications and other uses. According to Goldman Sachs’ estimates, using silicon carbide in battery chargers for electric vehicles could reduce manufacturing costs and ownership costs by almost $2,000 per car.

Silicon carbide is an inert, chemical-resistant material with various uses. Its main applications are in the production of abrasives and cutting tools due to its hardness, wear resistance and thermal conductivity; other uses include casting iron and nonferrous metals in foundries; casting precious and nonprecious metals into crucibles for production purposes; ceramics production and glass industries. Silicon carbide coatings may be applied directly over steel alloys while manufacturing of metallurgical equipment like furnace liners or wash troughs is another possibility.
STMicroelectronics’ FD-SOI technology is a key growth driver of the global silicon carbide wafer market, while its diverse portfolio of semiconductor technologies broaden application potential. Their silicon carbide products meet stringent power electronics and electric vehicle sector requirements while their power semiconductor products leverage a unique design for higher efficiency at reduced costs; both benefits should drive continued market expansion over the coming years.
