· JVASP-20370· ScAs

Scandium arsenide (ScAs) is a III-V semiconductor ceramic compound that combines a rare-earth metal with a metalloid element, forming a high-hardness crystalline material. This compound is primarily of research and development interest rather than established commercial production, with potential applications in high-temperature electronics and optoelectronic devices where the wide bandgap and thermal stability of III-V semiconductors are advantageous. ScAs remains largely experimental; the broader III-V semiconductor family (GaAs, InP) dominates industry, but scandium-based compounds are being investigated for next-generation high-power and high-frequency applications that exceed the performance envelope of conventional alternatives.
