Market Overview

Silicon carbide ingots are large-sized, monocrystalline, or polycrystalline masses of silicon carbide or SiC produced through different processes at high temperatures. As raw materials, silicon carbide ingots permit the production of semiconductor products and components, including power electronics, high-frequency devices, and light-emitting diodes (LED). The high-performance applications of silicon carbide are maximized through a unique set of properties: good thermal conductivity, electric breakdown strength, and resistance under high temperatures and radiation. These ingots are then cut into very thin wafers and further processed to manufacture electronic components. Furthermore, SiC is more thermally conductive than silicon, which permits the efficient dissipation of heat in high-power and high-temperature applications. It can tolerate more electric fields before breakdown; hence, the devices designed on this material may be fabricated at higher voltage and power levels. It can be operated at much higher temperatures compared to silicon, thus finding applications in harsh environments, thus reducing the need for cooling systems, which is thereby propelling the revenue of the silicon carbide ingot market.
