Silicon carbide (SiC) has good chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, especially in extreme conditions of application, and has proved to be a very promising electromagnetic absorption material. However, single silicon carbide cannot meet the increasing demand for high performance of absorbing materials. It has become an important research direction to combine it with other absorbing materials to improve its absorbing performance. In this study, a composite absorber material was prepared by 50 wt.% micron-sized beta-silicon carbide (β-sic) powder, mixed with a 0.2 wt.% multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and 50 wt.% polyurethane (PU) substrate. The mixture was stirred and deaerated to form a slurry, and sprayed onto synthetic fabric. The results showed that the composite material was flexible, with a thickness of less than 2 mm and favorable adhesion. The results obtained by reflection graph of the radar waves, indicated that the return loss within the X-band range (8–12 GHz) was less than −40 dB, indicating favorable radar wave absorption. Therefore, composite materials could thus be used successfully as radar wave absorbers, and was suitable for stealth materials in “asymmetric warfare”. Full article

In this study, static induction transistors (SITs) with beta gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) channels are grown on a p-epi silicon carbide (SiC) layer via radio frequency sputtering. The Ga2O3 films are subjected to UV/ozone treatment, which results in reduced oxygen vacancies in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data, lower surface roughness (3.51 nm) and resistivity (319 Ω·cm), and higher mobility (4.01 cm2V−1s−1). The gate leakage current is as low as 1.0 × 10−11 A at VGS = 10 V by the depletion layer formed between n-Ga2O3 and p-epi SiC at the gate region with a PN heterojunction. The UV/O3-treated SITs exhibit higher (approximately 1.64 × 102 times) drain current (VDS = 12 V) and on/off ratio (4.32 × 105) than non-treated control devices. Full article

A Process Design Kit (PDK) has been developed to realize complex integrated circuits in Silicon Carbide (SiC) bipolar low-power technology. The PDK development process included basic device modeling, and design of gate library and parameterized cells. A transistor–transistor logic (TTL)-based PDK gate library design will also be discussed with delay, power, noise margin, and fan-out as main design criterion to tolerate the threshold voltage shift, beta ( β ) and collector current ( I C ) variation of SiC devices as temperature increases. The PDK-based complex digital ICs design flow based on layout, physical verification, and in-house fabrication process will also be demonstrated. Both combinational and sequential circuits have been designed, such as a 720-device ALU and a 520-device 4 bit counter. All the integrated circuits and devices are fully characterized up to 500 °C. The inverter and a D-type flip-flop (DFF) are characterized as benchmark standard cells. The proposed work is a key step towards SiC-based very large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuits implementation for high-temperature applications. Full article
