How are transistors made from arsenic?
This is the gallium arsenide - GaAs.
Which elements are used to make thematerial gallium arsenide that is used to make high speed computers?
gallium and arsenic
Which element does gallium have more in common with germanium or indium?
Gallium has more in common with indium as they are both metals whereas germanium is a metalloid.
Where do you bump into Gallium in every day life?
Gallium arsenide is used to make LEDs and LASER diodes. Best not to "bump" into it.
What element did Mendeleev predict before it was discovered?
Mendeleev predicted that gallium belonged to the R2O3. Gallium was not discovered until 1874. The noble gases weren't discovered until 1894 through 1899.
Why germanium and silicon are not preferred in LEDs?
A: Because the element has different property as gallium arsenide.
What is an aluminium gallium arsenide?
In inorganic chemistry, an aluminium gallium arsenide is a mixed arsenide of aluminium and gallium, used as a semiconductor.
What is the ionic compound for GAAs?
Gallium arsenide, but it's more covalent than ionic- its a semiconductor
How might a gallium chip compare with a germanium chip?
Gallium is a metal, not a semiconductor. You cannot build a transistor or even a diode with a piece of metal, forget an IC chip containing several transistors.To create a gallium based semiconductor, it must be ALLOYED with one or more of the following elements: nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, or antimony. The simplest semiconductor alloys are: gallium nitride, gallium phosphide, gallium arsenide, and gallium antimonide. Examples of other semiconductor alloys are: gallium nitride phosphide, gallium phosphide arsenide, etc. (these are used in some types of LEDs).The most common gallium alloy semiconductor for making transistors and IC chips is gallium arsenide. Compared to both silicon and germanium, transistors made of gallium arsenide are significantly faster, and additional speed can be obtained by using nonsaturating logic circuits like ECL.
What semiconductor material is used to make transistors?
* silicon * germanium * gallium arsenide * etc.
Why is LED not made of silicon or germanium?
Silicon and Germanium are not used to make LEDs.They are opaque to visible lightThey have the wrong type of band gap (direct instead of indirect).LEDs are made with binary semiconductors, like:Indium Gallium NitrideSilicon CarbideIndium PhosphideGallium Indium Arsenide NitrideIndium Gallium Aluminum Phosphideetc.
What substance does gallium form?
It reacts with Arsenic to form Gallium Arsenide which is a semiconductor
What is gallium arsenide supercomputer?
A supercomputer using gallium arsenide instead of silicon for its semiconductor components. Gallium arsenide is much faster than silicon so it helps significantly in getting the performance needed by a supercomputer, but it is much harder to fabricate resulting in an increase in price.
Power diode made up of?
Power diodes are made primarily of silicon, though small quantities of other materials, such as boron, gallium arsenide, germanium or phosphorous are also used.
How are transistors made from arsenic?
This is the gallium arsenide - GaAs.
What has the author Richard Carl Eden written?
Richard Carl Eden has written: 'Photoemission studies of the electronic band structures of gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide, and silicon' -- subject(s): Silicon, Electrons, Gallium arsenide, Gallium Phosphide, Emission
The gallium arsenide is prepared for laser action but silicon and germanium are not. explain why?
I think because GaAs has a direct band gap transition but Si and Ge has indirect band gap transition. Both silicon and germanium are opaque and thus cannot be used to make LASERs.
