The very first use of silicon carbide to protect a silicon wafer in 1957 may have been fortuitous, but since then the benefits of silicon carbide have been very much appreciated and taken advantage of in the world of electronics. Today, silicon carbide is still extensively used and here at Quest, one of the leading developers and manufacturers of power semiconductors we produce and supply a range of silicon carbide MOSFETs to meet the ever-growing need for high performance components that can deliver exceptional results.

The Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) plays a critical role in many everyday electrical devices, its main function, simply is to control the flow of electricity, so that it may behave as a switch or an amplifier, often within analog circuits, inverters and motor control devices. Benefits of MOSFETs include high input impedance, low power consumption and exceptionally fast switching speeds.

The insulated gate within the SiC MOSFET, the voltage of which determines conductivity of the device facilitates the ability to change conductivity by utilising differing voltages, and despite continual research there has yet to be found a viable and effective alternative to silicon carbide insulation. At Quest we supply a range of high voltage SiC MOSFETs (both Bare Die and Wafer) with a range of voltages from 650v to 3300v of which there are only two other manufacturers offering such a high voltage, trading not just here in Australia but in all the leading electronic component markets around the globe, including Asia, USA and Europe. For innovation, excellence and affordability, look no further than Quest for your Silicon carbide MOSFET needs.
