General description

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a semiconducting material with closed packed stacking of double layers of silicon and carbon. It has excellent thermo-mechanical and electrical properties that make it useful in a variety of electronic and optoelectronic applications.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belongs to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. This enabling product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Click here for more information.

Application

SiC is majorly used as a base material for applications such as micro-structures, opto-electronic devices (light emitting diodes (LEDs), UV detectors), high temperature electronics (nuclear electronics), and high frequency devices.
