Problems solved by technology

However, silicon carbide grown by most techniques is generally too conductive for semi-insulating applications
In particular, the unintentionally added nitrogen concentration in SiC tends to be high enough in sublimation-grown crystals to provide sufficient conductivity to render SiC unusable for devices requiring semi-insulating substrates
