In0.4Ga0.6P is a III-V semiconductor compound formed by alloying indium gallium phosphide with a 40:60 indium-to-gallium ratio. This direct-bandgap material sits in the intermediate range of the InGaP family and is primarily used in optoelectronic devices where its bandgap energy corresponds to visible and near-infrared wavelengths. InGaP alloys are widely deployed in high-efficiency photovoltaic cells (especially as top junctions in multijunction solar panels), light-emitting diodes, and heterojunction bipolar transistors, where lattice-matching to GaAs substrates and excellent carrier transport properties make them preferable to wider-bandgap alternatives like GaP.
