Silicon carbide (SiC) is an inorganic substance. The amount of naturally occurring silicon carbide is very small. It is a rare mineral and is called moissanite. Silicon carbide used in industrial production is mostly artificially synthesized.

The third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor materials, such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC), are renowned for their exceptional optoelectronic conversion and microwave signal transmission capabilities. These materials meet the demanding requirements of high-frequency, high-temperature, high-power, and radiation-resistant electronic devices. Therefore, they have vast application prospects in new-generation mobile communications, new energy vehicles, smart grids, and LED technologies. The comprehensive development of the third-generation semiconductor industry urgently requires breakthroughs in key core technologies, continual advancement in device design and innovation, and a resolution to import dependencies.

The current third-generation semiconductors are primarily based on Silicon Carbide, with substrates accounting for 47% of device costs, and epitaxy accounting for 23%, totaling approximately 70% and forming the most crucial part of the SiC device manufacturing industry.

The first generation of semiconductor materials is mainly represented by silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), which began to rise in the 1950s. Germanium was dominant in the early days and was mainly used in low-voltage, low-frequency, medium-power transistors and photodetectors, but due to its poor high temperature resistance and radiation resistance, it was gradually replaced by silicon devices in the late 1960s. Silicon is still the main semiconductor material in the field of microelectronics due to its high technological maturity and cost advantages.

​As the world searches for new opportunities in the semiconductor field, Gallium Nitride (GaN) continues to stand out as a potential candidate for future power and RF applications. However, despite its numerous benefits, GaN faces a significant challenge: the absence of P-type products. Why is GaN hailed as the next major semiconductor material, why is the lack of P-type GaN devices a critical drawback, and what does this mean for future designs?
