The origin of silicon carbide

Fused diamond experiment in 1891 by the American Acheson, discovered by accident in the laboratory carbide was mistaken for a mixture of diamond, so named Emery, 1893 Acheson out industrial researchsmelting silicon carbide, that is, we often say that Acheson furnace has been in use since the carbonaceous material to the furnace core resistance furnace, electrically heated quartz silica and carbon mixture generation silicon carbide.

Several events on silicon carbide in 1905 first discovered in meteorites was born in 1955, a major breakthrough in theoretical and technical silicon carbide light-emitting diode silicon carbide in 1907 only, Lely made ​​the growth of high-quality carbide concept, from the SIC as an important electronic materials held in Boston in 1958, the first World Conference on silicon carbide academic exchanges of June 1978, the silicon carbide 1970s mainly from the former Soviet Union to study. 1978 "Lely improved technology for the first time the grain growth purification method 1987 - present CREE research of silicon carbide production line suppliers are beginning to provide commercialization of silicon carbide base
