Among other organic reagents, Ga has been determined with Chrome Azurol S in aluminium, aluminium chloride, and peat bath [62], with Xylenol Orange in biological samples [63], with PAR in aluminium and its alloys [64], with haematoxylin in aluminium alloys [55], with Carminic Acid in gallium arsenide semiconductor materials [65], and with Semimethylthymol Blue in minerals and ores [66].

Extensive studies have been performed on self-assembled dimeric and trimeric or-ganogallium phosphides, 86 and 87, and arsenides, 88 and 89, in relation to their use as precursors for gallium phosphide and gallium arsenide semiconductors [237-240]. Their association in solution was observed some time ago as a result of molecular weight determinations in solution [158, 160] and many of the compounds have been structurally characterized. As already shown, the degree of association depends upon the steric bulkiness of the organic groups. 

The element gallium, used in gallium arsenide semiconductors, has an atomic mass of 69.72 amu. There are only two isotopes of gallium, Ga with a mass of 68.9257 amu and Ga with a mass of 70.9249 amu. What are the isotopic abundances of gallium ... 

Indium phosphide is used in optoelectronics and radiation sources, but at present takes third place in importance after silicon and gallium arsenides. Semiconductor lasers based on In Gai. As, operating at 1.3 and 1.55 mm, have been extensively developed as the light sources for fibre optic communication systems. The formation of such compositions can be represented as vapour phase reactions (12.400).

The first semiconductor lasers, fabricated from gallium arsenide material, were formed from a simple junction (called a homojunction because the composition of the material was the same on each side of the junction) between the type and n-ty e materials. Those devices required high electrical current density, which produced damage ia the region of the junction so that the lasers were short-Hved. To reduce this problem, a heterojunction stmcture was developed. This junction is formed by growing a number of layers of different composition epitaxially. This is shown ia Figure 12. There are a number of layers of material having different composition is this ternary alloy system, which may be denoted Al Ga his notation, x is a composition... 

Gallium arsenide is a semiconducting material. If we wish to modify the sample by replacing a small amount of the arsenic with an element to produce an n-type semiconductor, which element would we choose selenium, phosphorus, or silicon Why ... 

Arsenic and antimony are metalloids. They have been known in the pure state since ancient times because they are easily obtained from their ores (Fig. 15.3). In the elemental state, they are used primarily in the semiconductor industry and in the lead alloys used as electrodes in storage batteries. Gallium arsenide is used in lasers, including the lasers used in CD players. Metallic bismuth, with its large, weakly bonded atoms, has a low melting point and is used in alloys that serve as fire detectors in sprinkler systems the alloy melts when a fire breaks out nearby, and the sprinkler system is activated. Like ice, solid bismuth is less dense than the liquid. As a result, molten bismuth does not shrink when it solidifies in molds, and so it is used to make low-temperature castings. 

A schematic of epitaxial growth is shown in Fig. 2.11. As an example, it is possible to grow gallium arsenide epitaxially on silicon since the lattice parameters of the two materials are similar. On the other hand, deposition of indium phosphide on silicon is not possible since the lattice mismatch is 8%, which is too high. A solution is to use an intermediate buffer layer of gallium arsenide between the silicon and the indium phosphide. The lattice parameters of common semiconductor materials are shown in Fig. 2.12.
