Silicon Carbide

The silicon carbide group is part of the department Integrated Devices and Circuits at the ICT-school. We conduct experimental research in the Electrum Laboratory in Kista. Together with Uppsala University, we are starting a large project in integrated electronics in SiC for high temperatures and radiation hard environments. The main goal of this project is to demonstrate power and sensor electronic systems up to 600 °C using silicon carbide (SiC) integrated circuits, also demonstrating radiation hardness. Applications can be found in oil and gas drilling, motor drives, automotive, aviation, space exploration, and nuclear energy.
