## [SiC-Powered MOSFETs: Defect Formation In Space](https://blog.delmic.com/sic-powered-mosfets-defect-formation-in-space)

While SiC-powered MOSFETs hold great promise for the field of space electronics, heavy-ion radiation in space causes them damage. Here, we highlight a recent study using cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy to better understand these defects.
