/ PR Agency: Silicon Carbide Market: Driving the Future of High-Performance Materials
Silicon carbide (SiC), a compound semiconductor material composed of silicon and carbide atoms, is transforming the way electricity is converted, managed, and distributed. While silicon has long been the dominant material in power electronic devices due to its abundance and low cost, the increasing demand for higher efficiency, power density, and reliability has brought SiC into the spotlight as a superior alternative.

Superior Properties of Silicon Carbide
SiC offers several advantageous properties over traditional silicon, including higher breakdown voltage and superior thermal conductivity. These characteristics enable the design of smaller and lighter power electronic systems, allowing manufacturers to achieve higher power densities. This means more energy can be delivered using smaller and lighter components, driving the adoption of SiC in power electronics and, consequently, market growth.

Investment Surge in SiC Production
As the demand for SiC continues to rise, particularly driven by applications in new energy vehicles, 5G, solar energy, and photovoltaics, significant investments are being made to enhance production capabilities. The production of SiC is complex and requires substantial investment, but the promising market prospects have led major companies to ramp up their strategic deployments and investments.

Recent Developments in SiC Production:
• Onsemi (U.S.) announced in June 2024 plans to develop a vertically integrated SiC manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic, with a multi-year investment of up to USD 2 billion.
• Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Japan) declared in March 2023 an increase in their investment plan to roughly 260 billion Yen (USD 1.61 billion) to boost SiC power semiconductor production.
• Microchip Technology Inc. (U.S.) stated in February 2023 an investment of USD 880 million to expand SiC production capacity at their Colorado Springs facility.
• Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. (Japan) made a capital investment in Fuji Electric Tsugaru Semiconductor Co., Ltd. in January 2022 to accelerate SiC power semiconductor production.

Opportunities for SiC Market Growth
SiC in the Oil & Gas Industry
SiC is increasingly used in downhole oil and gas applications due to its durability and heat resistance. Applications include:
• Drill Bits: SiC drill bits are more durable and withstand high temperatures and pressures in deep wells.
• Downhole Tools: Used to measure pressure, temperature, and flow rate, and to perform tasks such as cutting and sealing.
• Casing and Liners: SiC casing and liners protect wellbores from corrosion, erosion, and collapse.
The growing use of SiC in these applications is expected to enhance the efficiency and safety of oil and gas production, driving market growth.

SiC in Electric Vehicles (EVs)
SiC technology is pivotal in the advancement of EVs, providing more efficient and compact power systems capable of handling high-voltage applications. SiC inverters, for instance, offer an efficiency boost of 6-10% compared to traditional silicon-based inverters. As the automotive industry shifts towards 800V and higher systems, SiC is essential for enabling more efficient drivetrains, superior performance, longer ranges, and faster charging times.

Strategic Initiatives by EV Manufacturers:
• STMicroelectronics (Switzerland) collaborated with BorgWarner Inc. (U.S.) in August 2023 to supply third-generation 750V SiC power MOSFETs for Volvo Cars' electric vehicles.
• Jaguar Land Rover (U.K.) partnered with Wolfspeed, Inc. (U.S.) in October 2022 to integrate SiC semiconductors into their next-generation EVs, enhancing powertrain efficiency and driving range.
