The low neutron capture cross section and radiation hardness favors its use in detector applications. The high breakdown field and carrier saturation velocity coupled with the high thermal conductivity allow SiC RF transistors to handle much higher power densities and frequencies in stable operation at high temperatures. Smaller transistor sizes and less cooling requirements lead to a reduced overall size and cost of these systems. For instance, SiC based solid state transmitters hold great promise for High Definition Television (HDTV) broadcast stations~\cite{temcamani01,pribble02} abandoning the reliance on tube-based technology for high-power transmitters significantly reducing the size of such transmitters and long-term maintenance costs. The high breakdown field of SiC compared to Si allows the blocking voltage region of a device to be designed roughly 10 times thinner and 10 times heavier doped, resulting in a decrease of the blocking region resistance by a factor of 100 and a much faster switching behavior. Thus, rectifier diodes and switching transistors with higher switching frequencies and much greater efficiencies can be realized and exploited in highly efficient power converters. -Therefor, SiC constitutes a promising candidate to become the key technology towards an extensive development and use of regenerative energies and electromobility. +Therefore, SiC constitutes a promising candidate to become the key technology towards an extensive development and use of regenerative energies and electromobility.
