What is SiC MOSFET?

SiC MOSFETs (Silicon Carbide Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) are power semiconductor devices that utilize silicon carbide as the semiconductor material. They offer superior characteristics compared to traditional silicon MOSFETs, including higher breakdown voltage, faster switching speeds, lower on-resistance, and better thermal conductivity. SiC MOSFETs are commonly used in high-power applications such as power supplies, solar inverters, electric vehicle drivetrains, and motor drives where efficiency, power density, and high-temperature operation are critical.
