Silicon carbide, occuring in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite, is a compound of silicon and carbon with chemical formula SiC.
Silicon carbide has the following properties and these properties make silicon carbide an outstanding abrasive and ceramic material to be used under extreme operating conditions.
China, Europe are the major production base of silicon carbide. China keeps its No.1 place in the Global production market in recent years. As for consumption, China is the largest consumer undoubtedly.
Compared with its traditional applications, silicon carbide application in electronics industry has been a hot topic in recent years. Silicon carbide (SiC) is a semiconductor material under rapid development for use in power electronic (PE) systems due to its unique material and electronic properties. SiC potentially offers several advantages over conventional silicon (Si) for use in PE devices. Considering this, it is estimated that electronics industry will provide great stimulations for the silicon carbide market in the coming few years.
Over the next five years, LPI(LP Information) projects that Silicon Carbide (SIC) will register a xx% CAGR in terms of revenue, reach US$ xx million by 2023, from US$ xx million in 2017.
