Silicon has a bandgap of 1.12 electron-volts; gallium arsenide, 1.4 eV; silicon carbide, 2.86 eV; and gallium nitride, 3.4 eV. As the operating temperature rises, the thermal energy of the electrons in the valence band increases accordingly and passes into the conduction band once a specific threshold temperature is reached.
The band structure of crystalline silicon accommodates both direct and indirect excitations of electrons across the band gap (). At low intensities, a near-infrared (NIR) pump pulse can in principle promote electrons from the VB maximum across the indirect band gap ( E gap = 1.2 eV), satisfying momentum conservation by the addition of a phonon.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has excellent properties as a semiconductor material, especially for power conversion and control. However, SiC is extremely rare in the natural environment. As a material, it was first discovered in tiny amounts in meteorites, which is why it is also called “semiconductor material that has experienced 4.6 billion years of travel.”
For several years now we have been hearing about how wide band gap semiconductor devices will revolutionize power electronics as we know it - "its gonna be great…. soon, just wait and see” Silicon Carbide and Gan have co-existed with Silicon as the
18/6/2020· Description Based on silicon and carbon, SiC is used in LEDs and power electronics. SiC has a bandgap of 3.3 eV. Silicon has a bandgap of 1.1 eV. Wide bandgap refers to higher voltage electronic band gaps in devices, which are larger than 1 electronvolt (eV).
The semi-insulating silicon carbide single crystal or single crystal wafer at least comprises one compensation dopant; a distance from the electron energy level of the dopant to the edge of a silicon carbide band gap is sufficiently long so as not to generate the
