Silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum (/ ˌ k ɑːr b ə ˈ r ʌ n d əm /), is a hard chemical compound containing silicon and carbon. A wide bandgap semiconductor , it occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite , but has been mass-produced as a powder and crystal since 1893 for use as an abrasive .
Silicon carbide is commonly found around these stars, ... (150 °F). A more practical test is a measurement of electrical conductivity, ...
Carrier mobility in semiconductors is doping dependent. In silicon (Si) the electron mobility is of the order of 1,000, in germanium around 4,000, and in gallium arsenide up to 10,000 cm 2 /(V⋅s). Hole mobilities are generally lower and range from around 100 cm 2 /(V⋅s) in gallium arsenide, to 450 in silicon, and 2,000 in germanium. [1]
Silicon carbide. Pure silicon carbide is one of the most corrosion-resistant materials. Only strong bases, oxygen above about 800 °C (1,470 °F), and molten metals react with it to form carbides and silicides. The reaction with oxygen forms SiO 2 and CO 2, whereby a surface layer of SiO 2 slows down subsequent oxidation (passive oxidation).
A compound semiconductor is a semiconductor compound composed of chemical elements of at least two different species. These semiconductors form for example in periodic table groups 13–15 (old groups III–V), for example of elements from the Boron group (old group III, boron, aluminium, gallium, indium) and from group 15 (old group V, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth).
