Silicon Carbide Versus Silicon for Electric Vehicles and Electronics
Due to the ever-increasing for electric vehicles (EVs), manufacturers are comparing two semiconductor technologies for power electronics applications: silicon carbide and silicon.

Silicon carbide (SiC) offers high temperature resistance, reduced power consumption, stiffness, as well as supporting smaller, thinner designs that EV power electronics require.
Examples of SiC’s current applications include onboard battery chargers, onboard DC/DC converters, off-board DC fast chargers, automotive lighting for LEDs and EV powertrains.
According to Automotive World, future EV innovations could be enhanced by SiC technology as battery and motor manufacturers reach the physical limits of current technologies leading to the necessity to develop more efficient drivetrains.
