Silicon
carbide (SiC) is a chemical compound of silicon and carbon and it is also known
as carborundum. SiC belongs to the semiconductor market that is expected to
attain revenue of $394 billion by 2017. It is projected that SiC has the
potential to displace other silicon based transistors and semiconductors;
therefore, it is expected to have high revenue share. The key factors driving
the SiC market growth is that it can decrease the size of semiconductors and
reduce the power system loss by 50%.

The cost of SiC material ranges from $800 to
$2,000 per ton, which is very costly as compared to other materials used for
manufacturing semiconductor. Therefore, the high cost of these semiconductors
is a major restraint for the growth of the market. Material defects and
packaging issues are some of the other challenges for the market growth.
Researches that are being conducted to overcome these challenges have been
slow-moving. However, key players are seeking collaborations to increase
investments in the SiC based electronic goods.
Some of the key companies profiled in this report
are AGSCO Corporation, Entegris Inc., Carborundum Universal Ltd., ESK-SIC GmbH,
Grindwell Norton Ltd., Saint-Gobain Ceramics Materials GmbH, The Dow Chemical
Company, Xiamen Powerway Advanced Material Company Ltd., Timcal Ltd., and Snam
Abrasives Pvt. Ltd.
