Silicon carbide was discovered in 1891 by Pennsylvanian Edward Acheson. It is one of the essential industrial ceramic materials. It also plays a key role in the industrial revolution and is still used widely as a steel additive, abrasive and structural ceramic. The IUPAC Name of Silicon Carbide is given as Methanidylidynesilanylium.

Thanks to the process know-how and technical capabilities available at the Fraunhofer CSP (real-time monitoring of the sawing process, rocking unit for minimizing the contact surface during sawing), it was also possible to cut extremely hard materials such as silicon carbide into wafers.
