4H-N Type / Semi-Insulating Silicon Carbide SiC Substrates
4H-N type and semi-insulating silicon carbide (SiC) substrates are high-purity single-crystal wafers manufactured using the Physical Vapor Transport (PVT) method. These substrates exhibit outstanding electrical and thermal properties, including wide bandgap characteristics, high breakdown electric field, and exceptional thermal conductivity. Ideal for epitaxial growth of SiC or III-Nitride materials, they serve as key foundational components in high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature electronic devices.
