  • Methods for fabricating polycrystalline SiC electrical devices
    Patent number: 8133430
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel electrical devices fabricated from polycrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) and methods for forming the same. The present invention provides a method for fabricating polycrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) products infiltrated with SiC-containing preceramic precursor resins to substantially mask the deleterious effects of trace contaminants, typically nitrogen and aluminum, while reducing operative porosity and enhancing manufacturing ease.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2010
    Date of Patent: March 13, 2012
    Assignee: Surface Igniter LLC
    Inventor: Curtis M. Colopy
