SiC Wafers Market Scope
SiC wafers refer to silicon carbide wafers, which are a key component in the production of power electronics devices. SiC wafers offer several advantages over traditional silicon wafers, including higher thermal conductivity, higher breakdown voltage, and better performance at high temperatures. These properties make SiC wafers particularly suitable for applications in power electronics, such as electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and industrial motor drives. The high-power and high-frequency electronic devices made with Silicon carbide are superior to Si and GaAs based devices and this projected the growth of the silicon carbide wafer market in the forecast period.
