"One of the articles mentioned megawatt solid state devices. That essentially isn't possible (well technically it isn't practical) today. By definition if they could succeed by using SiC that would be a discontinuous innovation. Integrated circuits that can operate at temperatures of 500 deg C (how hot is that? ...it would be glowing a dull red-orange) would be a discontinuous innovation. These are the kind of traits that I'm looking for. Cree is not really there yet, but it seems like they are likely on track to get there before most others." YOu confirmed my beliefs. Although I am not familiar with a quantity of applications that would require operating in a 500 deg C environment. (Although, I bet devices that can will be very high margin). Ultimately "PHYSICS WINS", so the only way to do things that can;t be done today is through the introduction of new Materials. Sunny
