Power Electronics Tech Scenario

Silicon Carbide is the Wide Band Gap (WBG) semiconductor.[2- 4 eV]. Si has 1-2 eV.
Silicon Carbide has arrived and world is waiting for Gallium Nitride.
SiC has lower resistance than Si, Can operate at higher frequencies, can withstand upto 250 Deg temp needs only air cooling.
RDSON, and switching losses are less in SiC
