Global silicon carbide market trend 2024-2028 Silicon carbide semiconductor by Newsbinaa-syria

The US Commerce Secretary has announced that the US will temporarily lift tariffs imposed on Ukraine during the Trump administration to help Ukraine recover its economy and continue to show support for the Russia-Ukraine situation. "For steel mills to remain an economic lifeline for the Ukrainian people, they must be able to export steel," the Commerce Department said in a statement.

The Biden administration will announce the lifting of steel tariffs on Ukraine for one year.  Ukraine is a fairly small supplier of U.S. steel, shipping about 218,000 tons in 2019, ranking it 12th among foreign suppliers to the United States, the report said. The U.S. Commerce Department noted that the steel industry is uniquely important to Ukraine's economic strength, with one in 13 people employed in the steel industry. 

Affected by the ever-changing international situation, the supply and prices of international bulk silicon carbide are still very uncertain.

What is silicon carbide?
Silicon carbide is a compound made of silicon and carbon. This compound is found in a mineral called moissanite. The natural form of silicon carbide is named after the French pharmacist Dr. Ferdinand Henri Moissan. Moissanite is usually found in meteorites, kimberlite and corundum. As a result, most commercial silicon carbide is synthetic. Although it is difficult to find naturally occurring silicon carbide on Earth, it is quite abundant in space.
 
What advantages does silicon carbide have?
The characteristics of silicon carbide include stable chemical properties, high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, good wear resistance, high hardness (Morse hardness of 9.5, second only to the world's hardest diamond (grade 10), excellent thermal conductivity, strong oxidation resistance at high temperature and so on.
 
Silicon carbide semiconductor
Because silicon carbide has incomparable excellent properties, silicon carbide is a kind of wide band gap semiconductor materials, which is mainly characterized by high thermal conductivity, high saturation, electron drift rate and high impact field strength, so it is used in all kinds of semiconductor materials. Silicon carbide devices mainly include power diodes and power switches. Power diodes include JBS diodes, PiN diodes and superjunction diodes, while power switches mainly include metal oxide semiconductor field effect switches (MOSFET), junction field effect switches (JFET), bipolar switches (BJT), insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT), gate turn-off thyristors (GTO) and emitter turn-off thyristors (ETO).
Silicon carbide semiconductor devices, with the characteristics of high frequency, high efficiency and high temperature, are especially suitable for applications that require strict efficiency or temperature. It can be widely used in solar inverter, vehicle power supply, motor controller of new energy vehicle, UPS, charging pile, power supply and other fields.
 
What is silicon carbide inverter?
Silicon carbide-based inverters are known for providing higher power density than traditional inverters, while requiring less cooling and lower overall system costs.

Europe has been facing the gas shortage problem since the second half of 2021. The worsening situation in Russia and Ukraine has reduced Russian gas shipments to Europe, leading to a doubling of European gas prices. Energy shortages have sent electricity prices soaring. For these reasons, it is predicted that the price of the silicon carbide will continue to increase.
