        According to a report by Taiwan Media Joint News Network, compound semiconductors have become a major trend in global development in recent years. Its high power, high frequency, and low power consumption characteristics have become key materials for improving product efficiency in industries such as 5G and electric vehicles. In order to effectively master the key semiconductor material technology, the Taiwan, China Institute of Industrial Technology (ITRI), together with Tokuyama, a Japanese semiconductor chemical material manufacturer, and Tsukuba Technology, a local enterprise, jointly established the "Compound Semiconductor Powder and Process and Crystal Verification Laboratory" in Sharon Science Park. The opening ceremony was held on August 15, hoping to connect Taiwan, China's semiconductor industry chain in the future.
 
 
        Due to the booming development of industries such as green energy, electric vehicles, and 5G AIoT applications, the market has increased demand for compound semiconductors such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride. Their characteristics are mainly due to high power, high frequency, and low power consumption, as well as fast electronic movement speed, which makes processing speed more than 100 times faster, becoming a key material for improving product efficiency in the industry.
        Taiwan, China Institute of Industrial Technology said that, in combination with the establishment of an integrated vertical integration laboratory by Taiwan, China and Japanese manufacturers, from the manufacturing, crystal verification and final trial production of compound semiconductors, Shalun Science Park can give play to industrial clustering and allow the integration of different technologies, and will hope to use the laboratory to produce semiconductor clustering effect in southern Taiwan, China, China.
        Tsukuba Technology claims that chemical semiconductor materials are expensive, with low production and low yield. By establishing a joint laboratory, the provided testing machine can be more precise and practical.
        Deshan pointed out that the company's establishment of silicon carbide semiconductor material manufacturing belongs to the combustion synthesis method. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, the bulk density of silicon carbide obtained is lower, resulting in a decrease in chip production efficiency in the later stage. This collaboration with the Industrial Technology Research Institute is believed to accelerate the resolution of the problem.
        According to reports, from the development trend of the international semiconductor industry, as the Moore's Law dominated by silicon semiconductor materials gradually moves towards the physical limit, silicon cannot meet the rapid development needs of new demands such as microwave radio frequency, high-efficiency power electronics, and optoelectronics. The rapid rise of compound semiconductor materials, represented by third-generation semiconductors, will have a crucial impact on the reshaping of the international semiconductor industry pattern in the next 10 years.
