2.2 SiC Device Applications

Exciting new developments in SiC technology are being achieved across a broad spectrum of applications. The most beneficial advantages that SiC-based electronics offer are in the areas of high-temperature device operation, high-power device operation, high-frequency device operation, and optoelectronic device operation. Device types include rectifiers, power switches, RF and microwave power devices (PiN and Schottky barrier diodes, MOSFETs, JFETs and MESFETs) [38]. The principal optoelectronic applications for SiC are low-intensity blue LEDs and substrates for gallium nitride (GaN) based high-intensity blue LEDs and blue laser diodes [39].
