Dear community,
There is one thing, that I don't really understand:
If it is known that prices for sic products are higher than for si-based products, why are so many people using it?

First like received Welcome! First question asked
SiC have much more performance advantages than Si products, as below:
High efficiency leading to lower energy costs, smaller battery requirements and a reduction in the cooling system.
Higher frequency operation leading to smaller magnetics and system size and weight reduction.
Higher power density.
Reduced system complexity for example 3 Level to 2 Level design
Possible lower operating temperatures,Possible reduction in system cost.
The customers who use the SiC component not only see the benefits bringing by it now, but also see the bright future.
