Efficient Gallium Alloy: Safe, High-Yield Semiconductor Use
Magnesium-Gallium Alloy for the Synthesis of Trialkylgallium Compounds
Tags: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India, Electronics & Robotics
This technology involves the synthesis of organogallium compounds using special stoichiometric magnesium-gallium alloys, which are essential for producing gallium-based semiconductors like GaAs, GaN, and GaP. These semiconductors are used in optoelectronic and microelectronic devices, including solar panels. The process is safer and more efficient than traditional methods, avoiding the need for toxic or expensive chemicals. The resulting alloys are easy to handle, store, and result in higher yields with lower trace metal impurities, making them ideal for semiconductor manufacturing in materials science and catalysis.
