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.
In inorganic chemistry, an aluminium gallium arsenide is a mixed arsenide of aluminium and gallium, used as a semiconductor.
Gallium arsenide, but it's more covalent than ionic- its a semiconductor
It reacts with Arsenic to form Gallium Arsenide which is a semiconductor
This is the gallium arsenide - GaAs.

For example, gallium arsenide (GaAs) is used from many years in laser diodes.
gallium and arsenic
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.
Gallium arsenide is used to make LEDs and LASER diodes. Best not to "bump" into it.

Low melting Gallium alloys are used in some medical thermometers. Gallium arsenide is used in light emitting diodes and solar panels
