SiC vs GaN: Power Electronics Debate

Silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are wide bandgap semiconductors that allow for more efficient power switching compared to traditional silicon. While SiC devices are more mature and available in higher power levels, GaN semiconductors enable even smaller die sizes and have lower switching losses. However, GaN technology still faces reliability challenges compared to SiC. Overall, both SiC and GaN materials provide benefits for power electronics, with each having advantages for different applications.
