Silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are
emerging as the technologies of choice in an increasingly
electric world that requires greater energy and more
efficient power conversion. Systems that require high-
power operation can benefit from SiC-based devices
within automotive, industrial, renewable energy, and
radio frequency (RF) markets.
Wolfspeed, a Cree Company, is the premier provider
of the most field-tested SiC and GaN Power and RF
solutions in the world. As the leader in wide bandgap
semiconductor technology, Wolfspeed partners with
the world's designers to build a new future of faster,
smaller, lighter and more powerful electronic systems.
The company continues to invest in SiC manufacturing
and research to support the growing, global demand
for wide bandgap semiconductor solutions that enable
the dramatic shifts underway within next-generation
technologies.
In this eBook, Wolfspeed has collected an assortment of
technical content to demonstrate how we are Powering
the Next Generation with Silicon Carbide. We invite
you to learn more about how Wolfspeed is leading the
way in the transition from silicon (Si) to SiC and GaN:
the evolution of electric vehicles, the move to faster 5G
networks, the advancement of renewable energy and
energy storage, and the transformation of industrial
applications.
