Gallium (Ga)
- Description
Description
Gallium is a chemical element that is soft and in silvery color. It is one of only 6 metals that can liquefy at slightly above room temperature.
About 95 percent of all high purity Gallium produced is used to prepare III-V compound semiconductors, such as Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Gallium Antimony (GaSb) for microwave, infrared circuits, semiconductors and blue and violet LEDs. Ultra high purity Gallium metal is also used to make sputtering targets and evaporation materials as well as source materials for molecule beam epitaxial applications in semiconductor researches and productions.
