Research abstract
Sterling Semiconductor will develop technology for superthick 4H-SiC epitaxial layers of up to 300 microns thick. Epitaxial layers of SiC of this thickness will satisfy needs in motor drive, transportation, power distribution and power transmission markets that cannot be satisfied with silicon. These layers will be formed with high purity, high minority carrier lifetime, and will be useful for blocking voltages of up to 30kV.
