The evolution of the semiconductor over the last few decades has given rise to astonishing developments in the world of electronics, where everyday items used on a global scale are now smaller, faster and infinitely more reliable than ever before.

Semiconductors are a critical component of most modern electronic technologies and as such have become an important part of our lives. However, at the cutting edge of the semiconductor industry is the SiC Wafer which is widely utilised in power diodes, Mosfet’s, and similar devices where efficient energy conversion and management is essential. And leading the way in the development and manufacture of SiC Wafers is Quest Semiconductors, an innovative and forward-looking company, that in collaboration with research and education facilities have fine-tuned the production of SiC wafers into a highly efficient and cost-effective operation.

Of course, you don’t become one of the leading SiC Schottky diode manufacturers overnight; the road to success has been paved with painstaking research, enlisting highly skilled workers and not least of all, finding suitable premises for the complicated and intricate processes of creating diodes, wafers and more. Quest have demonstrated their commitment to this cause and are increasingly influential within the industry with their products in high demand in modern, transformative industries such as electric powered vehicles, aerospace and renewable energy production. The semiconductor industry boasts some of the most high-tech research and development seen today, and in Australia, Quest are leading the way in ground breaking SiC wafer technology.

The evolution of silicon carbide diodes has been an instrumental factor in the development of many modern and cutting edge industries that shape our society, now and into the future, and here at Quest we have played a significant part in this push for new and groundbreaking technology. Industries such as aerospace and defence, electric vehicle charging and renewable energy are all highly dependant on SiC wafers and as technologies continue to advance, so the need for high voltage 5k wafers that can provide greater efficiency and output has increasingly required. At Quest we are a global company, with design centres here in Australia and in Spain, with state of the art foundries in Scotland, and our commitment is to use our years of experience and knowledge to develop silicon carbide technology that can enhance life for all of us by facilitating greener and safer outcomes.

This is ably demonstrated by our development of high voltage 5kv wafers, crucial to the continuing efficiencies being sought in high power applications, and from simple substrates to complete packaged 5kv devices, which are unrivalled elsewhere in today’s market, we produce and supply components of the highest quality that are an integral part of contemporary industries.

In synchronicity with the inexorable advancements in technology is our own growth as a company, dedicating time and resources into research and development in the field. With distribution partners located across the globe, including centres in Japan, India, USA, Europe and Singapore at Quest our contribution to the world of semi-conductors cannot be overstated.

As society and industries today rely ever more on technological advancements dependant on SiC wafers and associated products, so the role of Quest, SiC Schottky diode manufacturers here in Australia becomes ever more prominent.

Emerging technologies are at the very forefront of industrial progress and the continual evolution of the silicon wafer to today’s highly advanced silicon carbide wafers that outperform silicon in every meaningful way has been fundamental to many 21st century industries that rely upon compact and durable components, none less than the ever growing electric vehicle industry, renewable energy systems – upon which we are all ever reliant, and aerospace industries around the globe.

SiC wafers offer a wide-bandgap that enables them to work at higher voltages, temperatures and frequencies than simple silicon wafers and at Quest where the development of 5kv wafers, which are currently unrivalled in the commercial market, with an even greater range of applications in high end industries, the search for new and improving technologies never ends.

However, at Quest we combine our determination to push the boundaries of high voltage diodes with the development of manufacturing processes that are both ultra reliable and affordable, and with our global partners, we are proud to say that we are very much at the forefront of bringing high quality, high performance diodes, Mosfets and solar modules to the market today – and into the future.
