| Since it is possible to achieve extremely hard and smooth surfaces through
the application of coatings to materials, it is also possible to reduce
the frictional force that results from contact between materials. The coatings,
therefore, are usable in the abrasion, wear and corrosion resistance of
machine parts. |

Compared to silicon, the material which is currently employed in the fabrication
of the majority of semi-conductors, silicon carbide, is capable of maintaining
stable properties in far more severe environments. As a result of this,
there are great expectations for it as the essential component of the next
generation of semi-conductors.
