Author Description

This work covers the status and upcoming challenges of Silicon Carbide (SiC) Electronics with special attention to industrial application. With a list of contributors reading like the "Who's Who" in SiC R&D, from industrial, governmental and academic research (GE, CREE Inc., Honda, Toshiba, Nissan, Infineon, University of Erlangen-Nurnberg, NASA, Fraunhofer ISE, Naval Research Lab, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Kyoto University), this text strongly benefits from collaborations between research institutions and enterprises active in SiC crystal growth and device development.
