What is SiC?

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a compound of silicon and carbon with the chemical formula SiC. It is a semiconductor known for its high hardness, high thermal conductivity, high breakdown strength, and chemical inertness. SiC is widely used in high-power, high-temperature, and high-frequency electronic devices, such as power MOSFETs, diodes, and transistors. Common applications include power supplies, electric vehicles, solar inverters, and industrial motor drives.
