Silicon Carbide Wide Bandgap Polytypes
SKU: 68766W
The Indigo® SiC crystal model can be used to illustrate the nature of wide bandgap semiconductors for teaching power electronics, physics, and materials science.
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide bandgap semiconductor material that has transformed power electronics, outperforming traditional silicon in high-voltage and high-temperature applications. The Indigo® SiC crystal lattice model provides a tangible way to explore its covalent bonding, tetrahedral coordination, and structural polytypes. This model bridges textbook theory with hands-on visualization, making advanced concepts in semiconductor physics and materials science more accessible.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (scroll down to see "Skeletal (Orbit/Minit) and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
