Ana yin silicon carbide (SiC) ta hanyar narkewar zafin jiki mai yawa a cikin tanderu mai juriya tare da kayan aiki kamar yashi quartz, petroleum coke (ko coke na kwal), guntun itace (ana buƙatar gishiri don samar da silicon carbide kore). Silicon carbide kuma yana wanzu a yanayi, wani ma'adinai mai wuya, moissanite. Silicon carbide kuma ana kiransa moissanite. Daga cikin kayan da ba su da oxide masu ƙarfi kamar C, N, da B, silicon carbide shine wanda aka fi amfani da shi kuma mai araha, kuma ana iya kiransa da zinare ƙarfe grit ko grit mai ƙin yarda. A halin yanzu, samar da silicon carbide a masana'antar China an raba shi zuwa baƙin silicon carbide da kore silicon carbide, duka biyun lu'ulu'u ne masu hexagonal tare da takamaiman nauyi na 3.20-3.25 da microhardness na 2840-3320kg/mm2.

Silicon carbide yana da manyan fannoni guda huɗu na amfani, wato: yumbu mai aiki, kayan ƙarfafawa na zamani, abubuwan gogewa da kayan ƙarfe. Ana iya samar da kayan silicon carbide masu kauri da yawa kuma ba za a iya ɗaukar su a matsayin samfurin fasaha mai zurfi ba. Amfani da foda silicon carbide mai girman nano tare da babban abun ciki na fasaha ba zai iya samar da tattalin arziki cikin ɗan gajeren lokaci ba.
