Which elements are used to make thematerial gallium arsenide that is used to make high speed computers?
gallium and arsenic
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.
Is Gallium used in computer memory?
Gallium (III) arsenide, a compound of gallium, arsenic, and indium, is a semiconductor material which has some advantages over silicon, but also some disadvantages.Advantages : higher operation frequencies with less noise, and resistance to electrical or thermal breakdownDisadvantages : more expensive raw material, higher power consumption, and is more difficult to insulateGallium arsenide is used in high-efficiency solar cells and in LEDs. It can be used for low-power microwave emitters.
How much gallium is used a year?
Approx. 400 t gallium is used in a year.
How is gallium in bombs?
Gallium is a low mlting metal ("melts in your hand!" and forms alloys quite readily. It was used in early atom bombs alloyed with plutonium.
Which elements are used to make thematerial gallium arsenide that is used to make high speed computers?
gallium and arsenic
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.
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 color LEDs in Gallium used to make?
The most comon form of LED made from Gallium Arsenide is gold and it can also be blue.
What lasers use gallium?
For example, gallium arsenide (GaAs) is used from many years in laser diodes.
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
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 create white LED light?
A: gallium arsenide
What semiconductor material is used to make transistors?
* silicon * germanium * gallium arsenide * etc.
What is an integrated circuit chip made from?
Mostly silicon but other compounds such as gallium arsenide are also used.
What are the elements to combine to form a color that used in LEDs?
Lots of compounds have been used in LEDs Many of these are based on III-V semiconductors using elements from group 13 and 15, such as gallium nitride, indium phosphide, gallium arsenide and "mixed" nitrides InGaN The simple compounds produce light of a particular wavelength, often coatings of phosphors are used to produce extra colors.
What element is used in making photoelectric cell?
Cadmium sulfide. Some are made from silicon. Gallium arsenide works well.
