Cree's technology has IP patent protection for the process of fabricating the SiC wafer in commercial quantities and qualities that others have been unable to acheive to date either because of a lack of expertise or experience. It is also true according to Cree that it is doubtful that there is a process that can produce the wafers with the same quality can be acheived without violating their patents. Blue LEDs can be made from sapphire but they are more costly, are much larger in size and use a non-standard industry package. The only factor in the way of their dominating this market is their production capacity.

They also own significant patents in the epitaxel area where the GaN is chemically bonded to the SiC.

By the way, how do you format a SI post? Itals, bold etc.
