SiC Semiconductor Crystal Growth
As of this writing, much of the outstanding theoretical promise of SiC electronics highlighted in theprevious section has largely gone unrealized. A brief historical examination quickly shows that seriousshortcomings in SiC semiconductor material manufacturability and quality have greatly hindered thedevelopment of SiC semiconductor electronics. From a simple-minded point of view, SiC electronicsdevelopment has very much followed the general rule of thumb that a solid-state electronic device canonly be as good as the semiconductor material from which it is made.
