In₂ is an indium-based semiconductor compound, likely referring to indium sesquioxide or a related indium oxide phase used in optoelectronic and thin-film device applications. This material is valued in transparent conductive coatings, photovoltaic devices, and gas-sensing applications where indium's high carrier mobility and optical transparency are advantageous. Engineers select indium compounds over alternatives like ITO (indium tin oxide) when specific electrical, optical, or chemical properties are required, though In₂ remains primarily a research and specialty material compared to more established indium alloys.
