Sc1 N1
semiconductorScandium nitride (ScN) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor compound belonging to the III-V nitride family, characterized by its rock-salt crystal structure and potential for high-temperature and high-power electronic applications. This material is primarily of research and emerging technology interest, investigated for next-generation power electronics, RF devices, and optoelectronic components where its wide bandgap and high thermal stability could offer advantages over conventional semiconductors. ScN remains largely experimental but shows promise in specialized applications requiring operation at elevated temperatures or in harsh environments where traditional gallium nitride (GaN) or silicon carbide (SiC) devices may have limitations.
