A definition or brief description of Silicon carbide.

(SiC), also known as moissanite, its rarity in nature means it is usually man-made. Its hardness is exceeded only by diamond and has potential as a semiconductor for applications requiring high power, high frequency or a large degree of chemical inertness.
