SiC crystal application
Many researchers know the general SiCapplication:III-V Nitride Deposition;OptoelectronicDevices;High Power Devices;High Temperature Devices;High Frequency Power Devices.But few people knows detail applications, We list some detail application and make some explanations.
Because of SiC physical and electronic properties,silicon carbide based device are well suitable for short wavelength optoelectronic, high temperature, radiation resistant, and high-power/high-frequency electronic devices,compared with Si and GaAs based device.
Many researchers know the general SiC application:III-V Nitride Deposition;Optoelectronic Devices;High Power Devices;High Temperature Devices;High Frequency Power Devices.But few people knows detail applications, here we list some detail application and make some explanations:
1. SiC substrate for X-ray monochromators:such as,using SiC's large d-spacing of about 15 A;
2. SiC substrate for high voltage devices;
3. SiC substrate for diamond film growth by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition;
4. For silicon carbide p-n diode;
5. SiC substrate for optical window: such as for very short (< 100 fs) and intense (> 100 GW/cm2) laser pulses with a wavelength of 1300 nm. It should have a low absorption coefficient and a low two photon absorption coefficient for 1300 nm.
6. SiC substrate for heat spreader: For example,the Silicon carbide crystal will be capillary bonded on a flat gain chip surface of VECSEL (Laser) to remove the generated pump heat. Therefore, the following properties are important:
1) Semi-insulating type required to prevent free carrier absorption of the laser light;
2) Double side polished are preferred;
3) Surface roughness: < 2nm, so that the surface is enough flat for bonding;
7. SiC substrate for THz system application: Normally it require THz transparency
8. SiC substrate for epitaxial graphene on SiC:Graphene epitaxy on off axis substrate and on axis are both available, surface side on C-face or Si face are both available.
9. SiC substrate for process development loke ginding, dicing and etc
10. SiC substrate for fast photo-electric switch
11. SiC substrate for heat sink: thermal conductivity and thermal expansion are concerned.
12. SiC substrate for laser: optical, surface and stranparence are concerned.
13. SiC substrate for III-V epitaxy, normally off axis substrate are required.

Applications and Benefits of SiC Electronics
Two of the most beneficial advantages that SiC-based electronics offer are in the areas of high-temperature
and high-power device operation. The specific SiC device physics that enables high-temperature and
high-power capabilities will be examined first, followed by several examples of revolutionary system-level
performance improvements these enhanced capabilities enable.
