Infinitizer
of SiC Value
Y-SIC is ushering in a new era of the possible by revolutionizing silicon carbide production with a continuous, low-energy process built for industrial-scale.
What is possible at the end
is decided at its start.
Silicon carbide is the material the power electronics of the coming years will be built from. What that becomes depends on the quality of the source material: crystal growth, wafer quality and device yield. All carry the properties of the powder upstream. This is where the chain begins, and this is where it has advanced the least. At its core, SiC has always been made the same way: batch by batch. Y-SIC set out to rebuild that first step.
Batch Process
Acheson Process
Advantages
- Reliable and widely used production method
- Versatility
- Established technology
Disadvantages
- High energy consumption
- Requires high quality inputs
- Quality inconsistencies
Applications
Abrasives (sandpaper), refractories and ceramics, power electronics (after additional sophisticated cleaning process steps)
Chemical Vapor Deposition
Advantages
- High purity SiC films and coatings
- Excellent control
- Versatility
Disadvantages
- High energy consumption
- High equipment cost
- Hazardous byproducts
- Process complexity
Applications
Coatings, optical components
and semiconductors
Direct Synthesis
Batch reaction of silicon and high purity carbon powder: Si + C → SiC
Advantages
- High purity possible with clean feedstocks
- No CO by-product in the Ideal Si+ C reaction
- Flexible batch composition
Disadvantages
- High-purity feedstock costs
- Risk of residual silicon or carbon
- Mixing and thermal control are critical
Applications
SiC powders for advanced ceramics and, after qualification, feedstock for single-crystal growth.
3C-SiC phase purity requires process control.
Continuous Process // Novel and Superior
Y-SIC Process
Advantages
- 80% less energy consumption
- Continuous manufacturing process
- High purity SiC material
- Wide range of particle sizes
- Tailored material properties – including custom doping, sintering, 3C/6H
- Scalable for high-volume production
- Made in Germany
Disadvantages
- Requires precise control
Applications
Power electronics, Interposer, AR-glasses
Let’s start working together
Samples
We supply material in the quantity you need for incoming inspection, with a full certificate of analysis.
Qualification
We support your approval process and provide the evidence your quality assurance requires.
Joint development
If your application needs a specification that does not exist yet, we develop it with you: grain size, distribution, chemical composition.
What we can prove today
3 sites, > 50 employees, one vision
In Berlin, we advance the material and the process. In Osnabrück, we produce today. In Dillingen/Saar, our plant for industrial-scale production is taking shape.
Short routes, a European supply chain, and people in your time zone. For customers reducing dependencies in their material supply, that matters.
Certification in progress
We are currently undergoing various certifications, including ISO 9001. Until then, a certificate of analysis documents the quality of every delivery.
Patented Process
More than 20 patents, granted and pending, protect our production process. They show that the novel route was developed in-house.
„The SiC industry has been built by pioneers. Y‑SIC with its new generation of SiC powder brings us another leap forward.“
