Silicon Carbide is microwave-active semiconductor material. Its applications are known as a “susceptor”, a “lossy insert”, or a “load” by the industry. The advantages of Silicon Carbide materials are:
- Broad range of temperature use, whereas polymers and carbon-based materials have limited range.
- Capable of handling both low and high-power loads.
- Efficient microwave heating resulting from volumetric absorption.
- Dielectric loss is predictable
