Silicon carbide (SiC) is a hard crystalline compound of silicon and carbon that rarely occurs in nature and is generally synthetically produced. In addition to being used to create ceramic plates, bulletproof vests and other commercial products, SiC is a semiconductor, a material that has a moderate electrical conductivity, ranging between that of conductors and insulators.
