Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities

The International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials has become the preeminent forum to discuss new research results and assess the true “state of the art” for SiC, gallium nitride (GaN) and other related wide bandgap semiconductors—spanning the spectrum from fundamental science of materials through device performance.

Semiconductor materials science and technology have provided a solid foundation for the remarkable performance of current electronic and optical device technology. Silicon carbide has been studied for decades, but recent development has firmly established commercial products in optical, RF and power components.

Special events and social functions will be held during the meeting, presenting ideal opportunities for companies involved in SI technology to support the event and receive outstanding corporate recognition.
