Yes. Gallium is used as a "dopant", a calculated impurity that turns the silicon that makes up the computer chip from a nonconductor to a semiconductor.

Which elements are used to make thematerial gallium arsenide that is used to make high speed computers?
gallium and arsenic
How much gallium is used a year?
Approx. 400 t gallium is used in a year.
What compound is gallium used for?
Low melting Gallium alloys are used in some medical thermometers. Gallium arsenide is used in light emitting diodes and solar panels
What is gallium carbonate used for?
Gallium carbonate has not uses outside a laboratory.
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 element used in integrated circuits of computers?
Mostly silicon. However various others get involved in special devices, like Germanium, Gallium Arsenic, Yttrium etc.
Is gallium used to make a mirror?
no
What is used in microwave equipment?
Gallium
What lasers use gallium?
For example, gallium arsenide (GaAs) is used from many years in laser diodes.
What is inside an LED materials?
Gallium arsinide phosphide (GaAsP) or gallium phopside (GaP) are used for LED.
What is gallium used for?
Element Gallium is used to make up compounds such as Gallium nitride and Gallium asenide. These compounds is used to make solid-state applying in light- emitting diodes(LEDs) primarily.More over some compounds of Gallium is also applied in medicine such as chemical thernometer despite of mercury thernometer.Gallium is alloyed with Plutonium (about 3% Gallium) to force the hard brittle alpha phase of Plutonium normal at room temperature into the soft ductile delta phase in Nuclear Weapons to make it workable and more easily machinable.Gallium is very effective for finding neutrinos when used inside a telescope. An example of this use is the SAGE experiment at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory in Russia or the GALLEX neutrino detector operated in the early 1990s in an Italian mountain tunnel.Gallium is used in several eutectic low temperature melting lead-free solder alloys.dopant in semiconductor manufacturing.alloy agent with plutonium to make it easier to process for making bombs.half of the semiconductor alloy gallium-arsenide for high speed transistors.
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.
