Technical Background
SiC (Silicon Carbide) is a third-generation compound semiconductor with a unique covalent crystal structure. It exhibits a wide bandgap (3.3 eV), high breakdown electric field, superior thermal conductivity, and excellent chemical stability. These intrinsic properties enable SiC devices to operate efficiently at much higher voltages, temperatures, and switching frequencies than traditional silicon, fundamentally overcoming the performance limits of silicon-based power electronics.
