Creating the UK’s first complete end-to-end supply chain for silicon carbide power electronics

ESCAPE, a £20m project from the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), brought together 12 partners to establish a globally unique and cohesive end-to-end supply chain capability for innovative SiC power electronics. Compound semiconductors – and silicon carbide (SiC) more specifically – are ideal for enabling these new technologies as they are faster and more efficient compared to standard silicon technology.
