Silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors are a class of semiconductor devices that utilize silicon carbide as the semiconductor material, replacing traditional silicon. These devices are primarily employed in power electronics applications due to several advantageous properties of silicon carbide over silicon, including higher breakdown voltage, lower switching losses, and better performance at higher operating temperatures.
The main types of silicon carbide power semiconductors include metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), hybrid modules, schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), pin diodes, junction FETs (JFETs), and other specialized types. MOSFETs are three-terminal devices where current flows between two terminals (source and drain), with the third terminal (gate) controlling the current flow. Silicon carbide power semiconductors are categorized by various voltage ranges such as 301-900 V, 901-1700 V, and above 1701 V, and are available in different wafer types including SiC epitaxial wafers and blank SiC wafers. These semiconductors find applications across diverse fields including electric vehicles (EVs), photovoltaics, power supplies, industrial motor drives, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, RF devices, and other sectors. They cater to various end-users such as industrial, automotive, energy and power, information technology and telecom, transportation, aerospace and defense, among others.
