Application and Benefits of Devices processed on SiC
Because of its outstanding material properties SiC-based electronics and devices can work in very hostile environment, where operation of conventional silicon-based electronics is not possible anymore. Silicon carbide's ability to work under high temperature, high power and high radiation conditions enable large enhancements of device-performance in a wide variety of applications.
Typical areas that already take or will take profit from SiC-devices are
Electronics and Optoelectronics
Sensor Technology
High-Power Applications
High-Frequency Applications
