Anvil Semiconductors

About

10% of all electricity generated worldwide is lost through control, conversion and switching of electrical power. Power semiconductors play a key role in the efficient conversion and switching of energy in a wide range of applications, from smart grids to electric and hybrid cars, from industrial process control to consumer electronics and lighting. Today these power semiconductors are 99% silicon but utilising silicon carbide (SiC) instead enable systems to be more efficient, smaller and lighter. However SiC is currently 10 times the price of its silicon equivalent.
