Silicon vs Silicon Carbide MOSFETs Infographic

This infographic provides a summary comprison of the characteristics of both silicon and silicon carbide MOSFETs and their likely application areas.

Silicon has been established in the area of power electronics switching for many years, but the newer silicon carbide technology has entered the scene and is providing some significant advantages.

This begs the question about which one should be used: silicon power MOSFETs or silicon carbide ones?

Each type has its own advantages and the infographic seeks to highlight the characteristics of each, showing where each type might be suitable.
