Talk:Compound semiconductor

Talk:Compound semiconductor I ended up on this article after a customer sent in a materials data request that had the first paragragh as a direct quote. I was suspicious as there was a distinct difference between the language of the email and the quotation.

I am not sure why this article is here - the information that it supplies is already very well explained in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor_materials and in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor.

Additionally the opening statement "A Compound Semiconductor is a semiconductor compound " is a circular reference as a definition and is misleading - a compound semiconductor can be understood to be a device made of several discrete elements ( E.G. - die stacking) and not necessarily a direct reference to the materials used in doping the wafer. 209.68.160.241 (talk) 17:49, 30 January 2012 (UTC)skysail

Hi I agree merging the two articles.

On the other hand I suggest putting the energy from this article into the more specific compound materials: II-IV compounds for example have distinct properties you could fill books with. Those ones already have their own page in german: II-VI-Verbindungshalbleiter. Compound materials like ternery alloys are very interesting in research. It would be way to unspecific to put their description together in the general article List of semiconductor materials. It is just that these articles need a lot more workover in my opinion ;-) There should be more articles created from the following list: List_of_semiconductor_materials#Types_of_semiconductor_materials
