Imperfections of crystal structure, especially edge dislocations of an elongated nature, deeply modify basic properties of the entire material and, in consequence, drastically limit its applications.

SILICON carbide exists in two distinct crystalline polymorphs, the cubic or β-form, and the hexagonal or α-form1–3. Although the crystal structure and related physical properties of the two ...

Imperfections of crystal structure, especially edge dislocations of an elongated nature, deeply modify basic properties of the entire material and, in consequence, drastically limit its applications.

Imperfections of crystal structure deeply modify basic properties of the entire material and, in consequence, drastically limit its applications. Using silicon carbide as an example, Polish physicists ...

Silicon carbide (SiC), a material known for its toughness with applications from abrasives to car brakes, ... "However, during annealing, the crystal structure recovers, ...

John Palmour, CTO at Cree, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about silicon carbide, how it compares to silicon, what’s different from a design and packaging standpoint, and where it’s ...

Doping of SiC. Compared with other wide bandgap semiconductor materials, p- and n- doping for a wide dopant concentration from 10 14 to 10 20 cm-3, is easily possible with SiC through in-situ doping ...

Silicon is the backbone of the semiconductor industry, but it's also interesting in its own right. Here's why it's so important in modern computing—and in many other applications.
