Silicon Carbide - The subtle REVOLUTION

Subject Zero Patreon Software’s used: Blender Apple Motion mObject Silicon Carbide - The subtle REVOLUTION SiC is as important as battery technologies. It enables huge reductions in power loss for example, in a MOSFET diode, SiC makes it easier to achieve a thinner drift layer because of its critical breaking strength that can be a much as 10x higher than that of silicon. This results in less electrical resistance, culminating in up to 70% reduction in conduction and switching losses at high voltages. And high voltage we are talking about as high as 2,500 kV/cm while for silicon you are looking at most 300 kV/cm. This is possible because of its excellent thermal conductivity that is 3.2 times higher at 4.9 W/cm.K against 1.5. Lastly the band gap, depending on the polytype, can be almost 3 times higher at eV against eV for silicon. This means that the SiC is less likely to suffer from current leakage
