Compound semiconductors materials are
a compound which comprises of elements from more than two different
groups in the periodic table. Compound semiconductors materials can be
in binary form, ternary form and quaternary form among others. Depending
upon the form types there are wide range of compound semiconductors
available. On the basis of form type the compound semiconductor
materials are classified as III-Vs, II-VIs and IV-IVs and sapphire among
others. III-IVs crystallize in zinc blend structure while II-VIs has
crystalline structure. Compound semiconductors materials offer wider
choice of bandwidth than elemental semiconductors such as Si and Ge.
Compound semiconductor materials offer higher electron mobility, wider
band gap and lower thermal noise than elemental semiconductors. Compound
semiconductor materials have ability to generate microwave signals.
The
market for compound semiconductor materials was mainly driven by
optoelectronics devices and wireless technologies. There is huge demand
of compound semiconductor in optoelectronic devices. Rising demand for
mobile and wireless devices has been the key factor in the growth of
compound semiconductors in past few years. Compound semiconductor
materials have properties such as wide temperature limits, high electron
mobility and lower power consumption which are useful in electronic
devices and equipment. Compound semiconductor materials are also used in
light emission applications such as light emitting diodes (LED) and
lasers. Due to high resistance to radiation and heat compound
semiconductor materials are used in space applications where they are
incorporated with solar cells mounted on satellites. Compound
semiconductor materials are sensitive to magnetism and are hence used in
sensor applications. Compound semiconductor materials are also used in
optical data storage devices. In spite of so many applications, fragile
crystal structure compared to silicon and higher manufacturing costs
associated with compound semiconductor devices is anticipated to hinder
the growth of the market in next few years to come.
