SiC provides the unique property of extreme radiation hardness, near-perfect visible blindness, low dark current,high speed and low noise. These features make SiC the best available material for visible blind semiconductor UV detectors.

IFW SiC diodes are included in all common TO (Transistor Outline) packages from TO18/TO46 over TO5/TO39 and TO8 up to size TO3. The packages offer hermetic tightness and resistance to solvents and radiation. As a result, an application to a variety of components is possible.
