Key Points
• Silicon carbide is gaining preference in power
electronics because of its high breakdown
voltage and ability to withstand higher
voltages relative to silicon.
• The miniaturization enabled by SiC
technology results in smaller, lighter, and
more efficient power systems.
• Advances in SiC wafer fabrication and
innovative packaging techniques have
improved the affordability and reliability of
SiC devices.
• onsemi supports the transition from silicon
to SiC by offering a range of discrete SiC
products, integrated modules, and extensive
technical resources to assist designers in
optimizing their applications.
