All American to distribute GeneSiC products
The distributor will sell silicon carbide products used in solar inverters, electric vehicles, wind power, medical power supplies, down hole oil drilling and motor drives
All American Semiconductor, a distributor of electronic components, has signed a distribution agreement with GeneSiC Semiconductor Inc., a provider of SiC and silicon-based high-power semiconductor products.
The company’s cost-effective silicon technology is available with quick lead times and is claimed to offer the best forward voltage drop in the industry.
GeneSiC’s SiC products feature a high operating temperature range, small heat sink requirements and fast switching speeds. They are also inherently radiation resistant and offer a higher voltage and current capability.
The company’s products are used in a variety of industries, such as aerospace, alternative energy, commercial, industrial and military. Applications include solar inverters, electric vehicles, wind power, medical power supplies, down hole oil drilling and motor drives.
“All American is always looking to provide its customers with the most innovative semiconductor technology,” says Cory Dana, Corporate Product Manager at All American. “We recognise GeneSiC as a leader in the field and are glad to begin distributing their silicon carbide products.”
Founded in 2004, GeneSiC was an early pioneer in SiC technology and holds multiple patents on leading SiC devices.

Showa Denko moves towards 150mm SiC growth with Aixtron
Aixtron’s CVD reactor will be used to grow silicon carbide power devices employed in consumer electronics, railroad power handling and the automotive markets
Japanese based firm, Showa Denko K.K (SDK) has added an Aixtron SiC CVD Warm-Wall Planetary Reactor system to its equipment collection.
The AIX 2800G4WW reactor is capable of handling either ten 100mm or six 150mm wafers. SDK has increased its four-inch SiC epitaxial wafer production capacity by 2.5 times, to 1,500 units a month, through facility expansion and improvement in production technology.
