So wrong!
Non-silicon is 10x-100x more expensive and 10x-100x less fit for most applications.
Non-silicon (aka compound semiconductors) are only 1% of all semiconductor revenue and volume. Switching from majority semiconductor to tiny minority semiconductor is NOT going to solve any supply problems!!
SiC and GaN are STILL made on silicon and most of the circuitry is still silicon. Only the power transistors are using non-silicon.
Mostly a nonsense article.
