Compound Semiconductor Industry Review: January - March 2020



Report Summary:

2019 saw a decline in compound semiconductor and silicon revenue, but there were signs of a rebound in the last two quarters. However, the effects of COVID-19 disruption will be the driving trend going forward. On the process side, there has been a lot of activity expanding and diversifying the SiC supply chain.
