砷化鎵用於功率放大器與高頻用途,預估在5G相關的需求擴大趨勢強勁,主要廠商以住友電工及AXT為代表。碳化矽方面,除了應用於電力元件的導電性類別外,以通訊基建方面等半絕緣類別的需求大增。碳化矽係主要應用於電動車的產品。
Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is used in power amplifiers and high-frequency applications. It is expected that the demand for 5G will expand strongly. The major manufacturers are Sumitomo Electric and AXT. In terms of silicon carbide (SiC), in addition to power components, the demand for semi-insulation categories such as communication infrastructure has greatly increased. Silicon carbide products are mainly used in electric vehicles.
