General description

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a semiconductor based material that consists of a closed packed stacking of double layers of silicon and carbon. It has an excellent thermo-mechanical property that makes it useful in a variety of electronic and optoelectronic applications.

Application

SiC is majorly used as a base material for applications such as micro-structures, opto-electronic devices(OLEDs), UV detectors, high temperature electronics (nuclear electronics), high frequency devices
