Calcium arsenide (CaAs) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the calcium pnictide family, characterized by ionic bonding between alkaline-earth and group-15 elements. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than established industrial production, with potential applications in semiconductor and optoelectronic research contexts. CaAs and related calcium pnictides are explored for their electronic properties and as precursors or components in advanced material systems, though practical engineering adoption remains limited compared to more mature ceramic alternatives.
