CAS 1303-00-0: Gallium arsenide

Semiconductors (transistors, lasers, solar cells)Gallium arsenide is used in semiconductor applications. It is also used in the manufacture of devices such as microwave frequency integrated circuits, Gunn diodes, monolithic microwave integrated circuits, infrared light-emitting diodes, laser diodes and optical windows. Further, it is used for single-crystalline thin film solar cells and multi-junction solar cells. In addition, it is used for the detection of X-rays. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Gallium arsenide is a semiconductor material that is used in laser ablation, wastewater treatment and as a semiconductor. Gallium arsenide has been shown to be effective at thermal expansion, which can be used in the treatment of wastewater. It has also been shown to have significant cytotoxicity and radiation transfer reactions. Gallium arsenide emits light when it absorbs kinetic energy, which can be used in the production of lasers. The carcinogenic potential of gallium arsenide is still being investigated. Toxicological studies have not revealed any adverse effects on humans or animals, but the long-term effects of this substance are unknown.
