Guys, some of your are wondering where the 20% comes from. Apologies for not being clear in the video, but the 20% refers to the TOTAL power loss of the SYSTEM, not just inverter, at temperatures above 100˚C. The efficiency you see in most inverters are tied to "working temperature", and as it increases, efficiency decreases. Silicon carbide offers better efficiency at higher temperatures. Its from Mitsubishi and some other companies.
Awesome question. Did some research thanks to the wizardry of Google. Found a paper and an article: www.richardsonrfpd.com/docs/rfpd/Microsemi-A-Comparison-of-Gallium-Nitride-Versus-Silicon-Carbide.pdf www.arrow.com/en/research-and-events/articles/silicon-carbide-and-gallium-nitride-compared GaN has a higher electron mobility, but SiC has better thermal conductivity. Factoring the fact that GaN is not as mature (production wise) as SiC and that SiC surpasses it in terms of up-front costs (while doing better when it comes to high powered electrical systems thanks to it's better thermal conductivity), it is a more effective solution - that being said, GaN can still find a niche in small, high-frequency products (like CPUs). So SiC will be more widely used in the battery charging and power transfer systems, while GaN will be probably find better use in micro electronics.
A comparison between SiC and GaN would be entertaining- but then a dive into SiC GaN hybrid devices would be really interesting! I encountered some SiC GaN devices on Mouser the other day and haven’t had the time to do a deep dive. They seem to combine the advantages of both to create some really capable devices.
There is a lot of bias and corruption between that other channel you mentioned with GaN and this channel that we are commenting under with the video. Notice Graphene isn't mentioned anywhere. Check this out. Go to my channel, find Technology Research, go there. You can also do a youtube search for Technology Research vid1, find my channel through that video.

Once you find all the playlists, go to a playlist called "Graphene playlist". And then another playlist called "Videos with important info to get around my channel".

After you watch all the videos from top to bottom in that order in each playlist, check each playlist description for articles, info and links to official websites.

My other channel is for showing people the big picture, for awareness and learning. I'm a visionary and optimistic, to a whole other level of good innovation, with Graphene and Quantum Technologies. It's all facts from proof, no conspiracy theory. I feel the these channels that we're commenting under are very biased and corrupt, they even keep me from giving links because my comments become hidden if I do, and sometimes even without links my comments are hidden, there is a lot of bias and corruption going on.
I've been using Silicon Carbide cutting tools since the 80's. They can use different coatings to get even greater wear properties. It has been the go to material for a long time.
I wouldn't say SiC is the key to even better charging rates. We currently have 350kW chargers everywhere, but afaik there is no car battery that allows that charging rate.
Awesome video:) i think that 20% losses could be a little bit of an overstatement, these systems are quite a bit more efficient, but if so much mass/price could be reduced-that'd be awesome.
A charge/discharge loss of 30% is normal...the best systems on the planet can reduce this to 20%, so it is correct. That's why it is always beter to let your EV just come to a halt by itself instead of regenerative breaking....if traffic allows ofcourse.
@@chrisminnoy3637 the sentence was about inverters in general if I understood it correctly. They themselves are more efficient, up to 95+%. www.e-education.psu.edu/eme812/node/738
@@kensmith5694 that's correct. We used batteries for wind balancing in the past...30% loss roundtrip, there is a more loss from dc to ac than reverse. From ac to dc you can reduce the loss to 8 or 9 % in the best case.
Silicon carbide is made on the wafer by masking off where you don't want it, evacuate the chamber and discharge a tiny bit of carbon monoxide right next to the wafer and evacuate again. Some of the CO will be stuck to the Si. Then discharge a tiny bit of silane gas. This will react to form a single molecule thick SiC film. Repeat for thicker films. When the mask is removed the excess SiC will be removed. That is a cool use of two very dangerous materials. CO is the most common cause of lethal poisoning and silane explodes on contact with air. There are some seriously dangerous materials used to make the chips we use every day.
True. Dont forget about Hydrofluoric acid used to etch stuff which will also usually kill you if it gets on your skin. It all just requires the correct procedures to make it safe to use.
I used to work for a company called AGC Electronics America. Japanese company that manufactured SiC ceramics mainly for use in the high temp FAB ovens you see at places like Intel. SiC can withstand some seriously high temperature with relatively low thermal expansion compared to other materials. It’s idea for ovens as well. But it’s extremely brittle and one can easily break a $50,000 SiC wafer boat with hardly any trauma. It’s hard as hell but because it’s so brittle if a finish piece I’m gets hit and it vibrates at resonance it’s can shatter in weak spots. I’ve broken things before that are worth more than my car. It happens to the best of us. Your heart sinks every time. It’s traumatizing haha.
1. Do it from scratch 2. Spare no expense 3. Never cut corners (except at the corner cutting machine) I see Subject Zero successfully implemented Mr. Johnson's father's theories on farming.
I like your channel. It is informative and has very high quality production value, with animations and 3d models. One of the things it lacks to 'similar' channels (Joe Scott, Veritasium, Vsauce) is the lack of a host. There is no person on screen, just a voice-over basically. I think TH-cam channels' popularity is increased if there is a person attached to it, it just adds that little extra. As a viewer you develop a connection to the host, even though it is completely one-sided of course.
SiC substrates vs Si substrates based thyristors in the inverters? if this is the case how easy it is to do photolithography on SiC and what about epitaxy on SiC? Does the wafer formed at the very bottom of the Silicon crystal during CZ process considered SiC? when carbon concentration is the highest from the impurities of the crucible? I really need to start reading latest research on semiconductor device again. my book "physics of semiconductor device" at my bookself staring at me right now.
Excellent job as usual. It strikes me at some of the properties of silicon carbide a remarkably similar to that of graphite. There's a technical name for this sort of iso trophy.
I very appreciate your effort in picking interesting topics and explaining them in a comprehensive way. Great Job! May I ask what software tools you use for the animations and video editing?
And I started to watch this video expecting a discussion on abrasives. But I wasn't disappointed in any way, perhaps a little surprised but I really enjoyed the video!
Intersting stuff. One thing I was missing though - what's the current status of this tech? Is there anything holding back mass adoption? Any yet unsolved technical hurdles? Or just mass production and integration into the existing ecosystem taking its time? For example we get promised some revolutionary new battery tech every other week but then you hear nothing about it ever again because those are lab results and it doesn't work when you try to build a billion of them.
Higher voltage, lower resistance, faster switching times and lower gate capacitance making them easier to drive. We're already using them and seeing efficiency gains.
Also worth mentioning is the "power JFET" or "static induction transistor". Those parts allow for a lot of simplifications of topologies where cascodes are used to make a high voltage switch.
Great video about SiC. However, a blend of elemental carbon and elemental silicon (or sometimes SiOx) can be used as anode material for LIBs. Both elemets store lithium through two different processes. Carbon is a intercalation material and silicon is a conversion material. The benefit of silicon is the theoretical capacity of around 3500 mAh/g which is ten times higher than carbon (or graphite to be more precise). Unfortunately, silicon suffers from a vast volume expansion of 300 % during the charging process which massively damages the anode during operation. Therefore, a blend of carbon and silicon (with an increasing amount of silicon in the future) is used to accomodate the volume expansion while benefiting from an increased practical capacity compared to carbon-only anodes.
Nice and informative video, I would have liked to know why it hasn't been welcomed before into electronics and what has been the breakthrough these years
Embarrassed to say this, but I think I'm the only one who came here to know about Silicon Carbide...and how it "bullet-proofs" John Wick's suit. :-P (P.S. Great presentation by the way.)
Very cool when its 15 minutes to 80% that will give you time for a pit stop and get food then eat and go back to the car. Or fully charged if you don't take your food to go after walking in to restaurants. Just a thought.
Silicon still has some fight left in it. The "super junction MOSFET" gives the SiC part a good run for its money in current designs. "super junction" designs makes MOSFETs that have many of the good properties that 100V MOSFETs have with a breakdown voltage as high as 2000V. The high voltage area is where the SiC parts have the most advantage normally.
What if you could use magnets faced+\-this wil allow if strong enough a way to create an infinite energy source witch could be harnessed to create some kin of electric engine and if again strong enough could be used to create a hyperdrive that never depletes or create a car that you never have to refuel . Hens whe could make magnetic fusion energy only problem is where do you store it? Well for somethings small like a car you could use a normal battery what whe use in our electric cars but with some thing like a spacecraft it must be a much different way I can’t quite figure out that but for cars it could be a massive improvement because the car would charge wile driving and also be able to charge while not driving theoretically .Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦.
It should be spelled SiC-- Si for silicon and C for carbon in the periodic table. A similar chemical compound is SiO2, for silicon dioxide, or the mineral quartz!
I have a problem with the utility of electric cars. Consider the energy transfer rate when fuelling a diesel car. Diesel oil contains 36 MJ per litre and it takes about 2 minutes to put 50 litres in the tank That's a transfer rate of 15,000,000 Joules per second or 15,000,000 Volt Amperes or being very loose with units 15 MW. How is one going to get this sort of power out of a charger? I will be sticking with Diesel cars for the foreseeable future. Example I was in Edinburgh at 14:00 by 21:45 I was in London Earls Court. When I can get an electric car with comparable performance at the same price as Diesel car with the same interior build I will buy one assuming I am still allowed to drive.
Two months ago you had a short film about how graphene could increase the storage capacity of batteries. Can graphene technology be combined with Silcon Carbide?
Can you please do a making of or provide resources for this excellent presentation style of technical topics? I think many presentations would benefit, but of course, only if the presenter is capable enough to invest hours in Blender.
Dumb question, so what about solid state batteries (ref Toyota) and graphene batteries ( not the coated but the full version.) Are they for different purpose, competition, or is this a dumb question and I do not understand the uses of these three products?
Hey SJ! Just a few constructive criticisms! 1. For English language videos you may consider spelling 'Teck' as "Tech" 2. At 3:38 you made a spelling error, reading out 'fist' as opposed to what you intended as "first." Awesome video as usual though!!!
One small correction, at 4:12 you say MOSFET diode, but you are showing and talking about a MOSFET transistor, not a diode, it is not that big of a deal in this case. Edit: I really appreciate your videos, but I did notice a couple of mistakes in the last ones, perhaps you should tweak your process a little to catch them before release. Keep up the good work.
This sounds promising for Tesla guns. Big problems with the ones created right now are due to MOSFETs being incapable of withstanding the required currents...
this figure comes from Mitsubishi. Its 20% of total power loss of the system, not just the inverter. so it is 20% of that 5% to 2.5% at temperatures above 150˚C.

With GaN the main problem is, the purest GaN crystals usually have >1000 times crystal defects than Si crystals. Now, what is the situation on SiC?
What companies/stocks make ev grade SiC? Is there a green ETF?
There really is no EV grade. Just look up SiC transistors. Anyone making them is a candidate for who the big supplier may be.
Cree and STMicroelectronics. Cree are the leading substrate wafer manufacturer and ST are more of packning + selling.

this figure comes from Mitsubishi. Its 20% of total power loss of the system, not just the inverter. so it is 20% of that 5% to 2.5% at temperatures above 150˚C.
