Our focus is not just material quality – but device performance, manufacturability, and commercial readiness.
Beyond Power Electronics – SiC Detectors and Sensor Devices
In addition to power electronic components, at RISE we also support the development and manufacturing of silicon carbide based detectors and sensor devices. The same end to end infrastructure used for advanced power devices is directly applicable to a wide range of high performance sensing applications.
Examples of supported device types include:
- Radiation detectors for harsh environments
- Gas and chemical sensors based on Schottky and MOS structures
- Temperature and pressure sensors for high temperature operation
- Photodetectors and avalanche structures for UV and deep UV
Why SiC is ideal for sensing
SiC offers a unique combination of wide band gap, high thermal stability, excellent radiation tolerance and chemical robustness, making it well suited for sensors and detectors operating in extreme environments where silicon cannot be used.
