SiC Substrate
Silicon carbide (SiC) substrate material is an essential material to support the development of the power electronics industry. High purity semi-insulating SiC is mainly used in 5G communication applications. It has the advantages of improving the radio frequency range, ultra-long distance recognition, anti-interference, high-speed and large-capacity information transmission, and is regarded as the most ideal material for making microwave power devices. N-type SiC is mainly used in new energy vehicles, high voltage transmission and transformation stations, white goods, high-speed trains, motors, photovoltaic inverter, pulse power supply and other fields, it has the advantages of reducing equipment energy loss, improving equipment reliability, reducing equipment volume, improving equipment performance and so on, it has irreplaceable advantages in the production of power electronic devices.
