SiC in power electronics

Supplied by Semikron on Monday, 22 September, 2014


The total market of SiC power devices is predicted to rise to more than US$1 billion by 2021.

Being a wide bandgap material, SiC offers new approaches to the design of power semiconductors. With SiC, the conventional soft-turn off silicon diodes can be replaced by Schottky diodes, which offer low switching losses. Plus, SiC has a 3 times higher thermal conductivity compared to silicon. Together with small losses, SiC is an ideal material to boost power density in power modules.

The future looks promising for SiC in power electronics. Download this white paper for a comprehensive review.
