Silicon Carbide (SiC) wafers and substrates are specialized materials used in semiconductor technology made from silicon carbide, a compound known for its high thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical strength, and wide bandgap. Exceptionally hard and lightweight, SiC wafers and substrates provide a robust foundation for fabricating high-power, high-frequency electronic devices, such as power electronics and radio frequency components. Silicon carbide wafers' unique properties make them ideal for applications requiring high-temperature operation, harsh environments, and improved energy efficiency.
4H-N Silicon Carbide (SiC) wafers are n-type single-crystal substrates made from 4H-polytype silicon carbide, a member of the third generation of wide-bandgap semiconductor materials. They combine high voltage tolerance, superior thermal conductivity, and excellent electron mobility, making them the preferred material for next-generation high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature electronic devices.
