The field of high-voltage electronics is rapidly evolving, with a particular focus on materials and devices that can withstand high voltages and temperatures while maintaining reliable performance. Silicon Carbide (SiC) is one such material that has been gaining significant attention due to its unique physical and chemical properties. This study will delve into the principle and applications of high-voltage devices based on SiC, exploring its potential for use in a range of power electronic systems. This paper will first explore the principle of SiC high-voltage devices, including a detailed analysis of the physical and chemical processes involved in their operation. Subsequently, this study will discuss the current state-of-the-art in SiC device fabrication and characterize the resulting devices based on their performance metrics. This will be followed by a discussion on the potential applications of SiC high-voltage devices in power electronics and beyond. Finally, this study will address the current limitations in SiC device research and development and explore possible future research directions that may lead to improved performance and reliability of SiC devices. By delving into the principle and applications of high-voltage devices based on SiC, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the material’s unique properties and its potential for use in a range of power electronic systems. The analysis of current limitations and prospects will aid in identifying areas for future research and development efforts, leading to the advancement of SiC high-voltage devices for even more demanding applications.
