The benefits of green silicon carbide
The Green ethos demands that every device we use be as energy efficient as possible. To do this, we need to make use of every available tool, and this extends to our choice of semiconductor.For decades, silicon has dominated the tech industry, and made possible the trillions of tiny switches upon which modern computing is based. But the addition of an extra element, carbon, can yield vast improvements in performance.Silicon Carbide, or SiC, is used in the manufacture of ceramic brake discs, bulletproof vests, and cutting discs. But its power as a semiconductor has seen it widely adopted in the world of microelectronics, too. Here, we’ll examine a few of the key benefits of SiC.
