A recent move to a new sales, marketing, assembly and testing facility, close to the Sunshine Coast airport underlines the commitment shown by Quest to secure a position as one of the leading SiC Schottky diode manufacturers in the industry.
Capitalising on pioneering and patented technology, Quest have developed a process for the affordable mass production of silicon carbide Schottky diodes, whilst still retaining the ability to produce silicon carbide diodes to individual customers specific needs. The introduction of silicon carbide as opposed to silicon as a semi-conductor has increased the efficiency as the SiC Schottky barrier diodes withstand up to 10 times the voltage of the silicon version and also offer three times the thermal conductivity.
In today’s modern society where, electronic technology is at the forefront of many new developments, the introduction of silicon carbide diodes manufactured by Quest is seen as a real breakthrough technology with modern industries such as those concerned with electric car chargers, electric motor drives and uninterruptable power supplies benefiting greatly from the introduction of the silicon carbide SBD. Renewable energy and in particular solar energy are amongst the most rapidly growing sectors of the market and Quest’s contribution to the growth of the solar power industry, due to the improvements in solar power invertors, thanks to SiC SBD cannot be understated.
With a vision to be amongst the world leaders as SiC diode manufacturers, already supplying Australia, South east Asia and USA, Quest have established premises in Europe as well as here in Australia to strengthen their position. Diverse production capabilities and innovation are the hallmarks of Quest, and alongside SiC wafers, Bare Die SiC Schottky diodes plans for the very near future includes the introduction of IGBT power modules to their catalogue. With the imminent launch of their capabilities as IGBT manufacturers, plus the wherewithal to become a TCIGBT manufacturer, the Quest brand name, already synonymous with excellence will be further enhanced.
For alongside outstanding technical innovations and supremely high standards applied to all parts of the process of testing and manufacturing Bare Die silicon carbide Schottky diodes and other semi power conductors, Quest applies the same existing standards to their customer service and customer relationships. Developing long term business relationships is fundamental to their philosophy and to do so requires trust, integrity and transparency which are core values within the company.
As societies and nations look to the future, placing much more faith in power semiconductor technology to ease some of the world’s problems, Quest is rightfully proud of the part that they play and their position in ground breaking new technologies. New high power Schottky silicon carbide barrier diodes produced in Australia at our facility are helping to revolutionise the production of electric vehicles, enhancing modules for drive trains and energy management, whilst the next generation of power semi-conductors are making the production of renewable energy more efficient and thereby more affordable all the time.
Quest looks forward to hearing from you to discover exactly how we can be of assistance.

SiC SBDs (silicon carbide Schottky barrier diodes) are small semiconductor devices or one-way switches widely used in power conversion systems. They leverage the unique characteristics of silicon carbide, including high thermal conductivity, extremely low coefficient for thermal expansion, and high resistance to thermal shock. Compared to standard diodes, silicon carbide SBDs are known for their superior efficiency. They can operate at high current density with a low forward voltage drop, resulting in less wasted energy. Traditionally, the production process for silicon carbide diodes has been complicated and costly. However, through a research collaboration with QMF, Quest has developed new patented processes that significantly speed up production and reduce costs. By incorporating standard procedures used in SiC wafer manufacturing, the design of these components has been revolutionized. This allows for the timely and cost-effective facilitation of customer specifications regarding forward voltage and current rating. The reduced fabrication time and lower costs result in more affordable prices for customers. As a result, SiC SBDs are in high demand, especially in the production of solar inverters, motor drives, electric car chargers, and uninterruptible power supplies. Currently, Quest offers SiC SBDs that operate within a voltage range of 600-4500V. However, ongoing research indicates the potential for even higher voltage ranges. The available options include SiC SBDs in the TO247 package or as wafer-level bare die silicon carbide Schottky diodes, with voltage ranges from 650-4500V.Quest has earned an outstanding reputation for delivering customized solutions to customers of all sizes and operating platforms. In addition to being SiC Schottky diode manufacturers, Quest's expertise extends to power modules, TCIGBTs, wafers in various sizes, sensors, SiC membranes, and JFETs.

SiC SBDs (silicon carbide Schottky barrier diodes) are crucial components used in various applications across multiple industries. Quest, in collaboration with the QMF team, manufactures SiC wafers, bare die, homogeneous high voltage SBDs, and other associated products for high voltage switching applications. The emergence of silicon carbide in semiconductor components has brought significant benefits to the industry. It outperforms its predecessors by offering high-speed operation at higher voltages due to its high dielectric breakdown field, which is approximately ten times that of silicon. Furthermore, it exhibits virtually no dependence on temperature or current. The reverse recovery time (trr) is significantly improved, resulting in reduced losses and higher efficiency. The reverse current is almost negligible, allowing for enhanced miniaturization of silicon carbide SBDs. At Quest, a leading SiC Schottky manufacturer in Australia, we prioritize meeting our customers' needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. We have diverse manufacturing capabilities to fulfill specific requests if our off-the-shelf selection of bare die SiC Schottky diodes and wafers doesn't perfectly suit your application.
