The demand for compound semiconductors has been exploding in recent years, driven by 5G wireless, vehicle electrification, green energy, data centers, biomedical and both industrial and consumer IOT applications. In order to meet this demand, the SEMI International Standards Committee recently approved the formation of a China Chapter of the global Compound Semiconductor Materials Technical Committee.
Compound semiconductors have various advantages over traditional materials, such as dramatically higher processing speed and lower power consumption. Initial plans of the new Chapter will be to evaluate standardization possibilities in GaN, GaAs, SiC, InP and other related materials, for applications such as RF, optical communication, MicroLED, and power electronics.
The new China Chapter joins the global Compound Semiconductor Materials Technical Committee’s existing Chapters in Europe, Japan, and North America, and will be led by Dr. Jiangbo Wang, Vice President of HC-SEMITEK.
Key members of the new China chapter are prominent in optoelectronics, optical communication, and wide bandgap semiconductors, from companies such as CR Micro, EpiWorld, and TankeBlue.
The SEMI Standards Compound Semiconductor Materials China TC Chapter Kickoff Meeting will be held on September 26th in Quanzhou, Fujian, PRC.
