A compound semiconductor (CS) consists of two or more elements from different groups in the periodic table, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), GaN, indium phosphide (InP), and silicon germanium. In the automotive industry, CSs have several advantages over elemental semiconductors (e.g., silicon [Si]). They operate at higher frequencies and temperatures, have higher electron mobility, and exhibit superior optical and electronic properties. This makes them ideal for high-speed charging systems, laser headlights, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and high-speed sensors.
For example, because CSs have a wide band gap (WBG), they produce less heat than elemental semiconductors, thus losing less energy. This makes them suitable for manufacturing electric vehicle (EV) charging components. Manufacturers also use CSs to produce high-speed laser diodes, which are essential components in autonomous vehicles (AVs).
Emerging automotive concepts, such as AVs and vehicle-to-everything (V2X), are attracting significant global traction. CSs, such as GaAs, InP, and GaN, play a vital role in these emerging concepts. Overall, a CS is a critical component of modern vehicles, enabling the development of electric, autonomous, and connected vehicles.
