III-V semiconductors

III-V semiconductors are materials made by combining elements from groups III and V of the periodic table, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs). These compounds are prized in electronics because they have excellent properties for high-speed, high-frequency, and optoelectronic applications, like lasers and laser diodes. Unlike silicon, which is common in most electronics, III-V semiconductors offer faster electron movement and better light emission. They are essential in advanced technological devices, including smartphones, satellite communications, and fiber-optic networks, enabling faster data transmission and enhanced device performance.
