Engineered for the most demanding applications in semiconductor, medical, and industrial technology, low resistivity SIC electrically conductive ceramics represent a revolutionary leap beyond traditional metals and standard ceramics. Unlike conventional silicon carbide (SIC), which acts as an electrical insulator or semiconductor, our advanced low resistivity SIC electrically conductive ceramics are intentionally doped to achieve an ultra-low volume resistivity of 10⁻⁷ Ω·m—delivering near-metallic conductivity while retaining the unparalleled durability of technical ceramics.
This unique combination of properties makes it the ideal material for components requiring both high electrical performance and extreme environmental resilience. With an anti-bending strength exceeding 300 MPa, hardness of 20.4 GPa, and exceptional fracture toughness, low resistivity SIC electrically conductive ceramics are not brittle. They offer superior wear resistance—outperforming tungsten steel—and remain chemically inert in corrosive environments, eliminating the need for costly and unreliable metal plating.
Unlike graphite or copper electrodes, low resistivity SIC electrically conductive ceramics exhibit superior thermal stability, maintaining structural integrity up to 1400°C and resisting degradation from aggressive plasmas, acids, alkalis, and halogen gases. This makes them indispensable in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly for electrostatic chucks (E-chucks), where precise, rapid wafer clamping and resistance to plasma etching are critical to yield and uptime.
Their machinability further enhances their versatility. Despite their hardness, these ceramics are highly compatible with EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), enabling the precise fabrication of complex geometries—such as micro-pins, custom electrodes, and thin wafers—without compromising structural integrity or surface finish. This level of precision is unmatched by traditional EDM materials.
Key applications include:
- Medical & Wearable Devices: Corrosion-resistant charging pins for ECG sensors, smart implants, and Bluetooth earbuds.
- Semiconductor Equipment: High-purity, particle-free electrodes for etching, CVD, and lithography tools.
- Automotive & Industrial Sensors: Reliable conductive elements in harsh, high-temperature environments.
- High-Power Electronics: Durable, liquid-cooled resistors and snubber components for energy recovery systems.
- Advanced Manufacturing: Replacement for metal tools in chemical processing, metallurgy, and vacuum systems.
Low resistivity SIC electrically conductive ceramics combine the best of two worlds: the electrical efficiency of metals and the thermal, chemical, and mechanical superiority of ceramics. Engineered for longevity, precision, and reliability, they are not merely a material upgrade—they are a system-level solution for next-generation technologies where failure is not an option.
Choose low resistivity SIC electrically conductive ceramics for applications demanding uncompromising performance in the harshest conditions.
