| General comment | Silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum, is a hard chemical compound containing silicon and carbon. It occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite, but has been mass-produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive. It is a synthetically produced crystalline compound of silicon and carbon. It is a semiconductor base material that consists of pure silicon and pure carbon. It is a wide bandgap semiconductor that is currently contributing to a deep transformation of power electronics. |
