  Compound semiconductors are transforming the global electronics industry by enabling faster, more efficient, and high-performance devices that traditional silicon-based materials cannot support. Unlike silicon, which is made from a single element, compound semiconductors are formed by combining two or more elements—most commonly from groups III-V or II-VI of the periodic table. Examples include Gallium Nitride (GaN), Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Silicon Carbide (SiC), and Indium Phosphide (InP). These materials offer superior electrical, thermal, and optical properties that make them essential to emerging technologies such as 5G, electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy systems, aerospace, and high-power electronics. One of the strongest advantages of compound semiconductors is their ability to operate at higher frequencies and voltages compared to silicon. For instance, GaN and SiC devices handle extreme temperatures and power levels, which makes them ideal for fast ch...
