High-Purity Gallium
Gallium is at the foundation of the modern world, powering the semiconductor material without which modern communication technology would be impossible. WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and electric vehicles all depend on gallium based semiconductors (GaAs and GaN). To manufacture these semiconductors, metallic gallium is needed to construct the source materials (wafer crystals and epitaxial wafers).

Product Overview
Low Melting Point
Gallium melts at just 29.8°C, remaining liquid near room temperature. When alloyed with indium and tin, its melting point is further reduced.
Material Properties in Novel Applications
Gallium is being explored for new uses, including medical applications due to its antibiotic properties.
Purity Control
Purity is critical in semiconductor and electronic applications, as impurities can affect electronic and thermal properties. Our gallium typically starts at 5N purity.
Diversified Supply Chain
Gallium is a byproduct of bauxite (aluminum) production. While global supply diversity has decreased, we are working to enhance the supply chain.
Features
Gallium Semiconductors
GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) is crucial for radio frequency communications in technologies such as GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth.
Bauxite, Zinc Ore, Fly Ash
Gallium is primarily extracted from byproducts of bauxite, zinc ore, and fly ash, as natural gallium mineral deposits are economically insignificant.
MOCVD
Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) is the most common method for growing gallium-containing semiconductor films. Key precursors include TMG (tri-methyl gallium) and TEG (tri-ethyl gallium).
Solar Applications
Gallium is used in CIGS (copper-indium-gallium-selenide) thin-film solar cells and triple-junction solar cells, maximizing energy capture across the entire solar spectrum.
