Silicon carbide
Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000310
A compound semiconductor composed of silicon and carbon atoms, known for its wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity, and excellent breakdown strength. These properties make it suitable for high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature electronic devices. Silicon carbide devices are increasingly used in electric vehicles, power supplies, and renewable energy systems.
