Materials for semiconductor, optics & research

APPLICATIONS

Material Selection Starts with the Application

Explore the way thermal, electronic, optical and mechanical requirements influence substrate and component choices.

Microscopy for research
Laboratory instruments

SiC substrate selection, power-device development and wafer qualification

Power Electronics

Silicon carbide is considered for wide-bandgap power-device applications. The specific resistivity, doping, defect density, wafer orientation and epitaxial process must match the intended device.
