SiC Substrates & Epitaxy
SiC for Power Electronics
Fabricate MOSFETs, IGBTs, and other components for high-temperature, high-frequency power electronics used in electric and hybrid vehicles, and aerospace applications.
Our conductive SiC substrates combine low resistivity, low defect density, high homogeneity, superior crystal quality, and high thermal conductivity to enable devices with low power dissipation, high-frequency operation, and good thermal stability.
