ZnAs₂ is a II-VI compound semiconductor formed from zinc and arsenic, belonging to the family of zinc chalcogenides and pnictides. It is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than a mature commercial material, investigated for its potential in high-frequency optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications where wide bandgap semiconductors are desired. The material remains largely experimental due to growth and processing challenges, but represents part of the broader exploration of binary semiconductors for specialized electronic and photonic devices.
