What is Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology and why is it important?
Silicon Carbide technology is a wide bandgap semiconductor material that enables high voltage, high frequency, and high temperature operation far beyond conventional silicon limits. This material’s higher breakdown voltage and thermal conductivity reduce conduction and switching losses, driving more efficient power electronics.
SiC technology underpins modern electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and industrial drives by delivering compact, reliable power stages capable of operating at junction temperatures above 175 °C.
Advantages of SiC over traditional silicon
- Higher breakdown voltage – operation up to 1700 V with smaller die sizes.
- Lower conduction losses – reduces I²R losses.
- Faster switching speeds – supports high switching frequencies and smaller passives.
- Enhanced thermal conductivity – better heat dissipation, higher junction temperatures.
What devices are available through this distribution deal?
GAMTECH’s curated portfolio under the partnership includes discrete devices and integrated modules designed for high-voltage, high-power operation:
- SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) – bare die & packaged
- MOSFETs, IGBTs, sensors, JFETs, SiC membranes
- SiC wafers (4″, 6″, 8″)
- High Voltage SiC MOSFETs – including 3.3kV / 90A model
- TCIGBT Power Modules – next-gen devices
How to select the right SiC power device?
Choosing an appropriate SiC device involves evaluating voltage class, current rating, switching frequency, thermal environment, and package format. Key criteria include:
- Voltage margin – device rated at least 20% above maximum system voltage.
- Thermal resistance – select low RθJA modules for high-ambient conditions.
- Switching speed vs EMI – balance faster switching MOSFETs with appropriate gate drivers.
GAMTECH can provide application notes, case studies and engineering support for UK projects.
How can businesses engage with GAMTECH?
Partnering with GAMTECH begins with a structured consultation:
