Compound semiconductor



A Compound Semiconductor is a SiC is a compound since its elements are chemically bound.

See the list of semiconductor materials for compound families and examples.

Fabrication:

Metalorganic Vapor Phase Epitaxy or hydrogen.

Other techniques of choice are Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), Hydride Vapour Phase Epitaxy (HVPE), Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE), Metalorganic Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MOMBE) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), etc.

An interesting online resource for compound semiconductors and their fabrication, (Britney's Guide to Semiconductor Physics), is also available as reference material for semiconductor scientists and non-scientists.
