What is this material they call SiC?

Silicon Carbide is a critical wide band gap semiconductor used in the burgeoning power electronics markets.  We sit down with a world renowned expert in SiC device design, Dr. Peter Gammon, to discuss its efficacy and value in our automotive, solar, grid and motor control applications.  We address the following key points:

- SiC’s role in electron mobility and transport of electricity.
- EV adoption of SiC in traction inverters and other automotive applications.
- Our transistor “dam” metaphor to make the technology more understandable for those without a EE background.
- Silicon and Gallium Nitride as substitute and competitive material sets.
