First sentence: Compound semiconductors have a wide variety of applications, including visible and infrared laser diodes and light-emitting diodes (e.g., InGaAsP/InP, GaAs/AlGaAs, InGaAlP, InGaN/AlGaN) for displays, information storage and communications, metal-semiconductor field effect transistors, heterojunction bipolar transistors, and high electron mobility transistors for high speed data transmission networks, microwave amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, and wireless communication; see, or example, [1].
