Gallium arsenide Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Gallium arsenide contains 48.2% gallium and 51.8% arsenic and is considered an intermetallic compound. It occurs as cubic crystals with a dark gray metallic sheen. Gallium arsenide is electroluminescent in infrared light. Gallium arsenide readily reacts with oxygen in air, forming a mixture of oxides of gallium and arsenic on the crystal surface. Gallium arsenide presents the following properties: hardness, 4.5; thermal expansion coefficient, 5.9×106; thermal conductivity, 0.52Wunits; specific heat, 0.086 cal/g/ ℃; intrinsic electron concentration, 107; energy gap at room temperature, 1.38 eV; electron mobility, 8800 cm2/V/s; effective mass for electrons, 0.06m0; lattice constant,5.6–54 AO; dielectric constant, 11.1; intrinsic resistivity at 300K=3.7×108Ωcm; electron lattice mobility at 300K= 10,000 cm2/V/s; intrinsic charge density at 300K=1.4 106 cm-3; electron diffusion constant at 300K=310 cm2/s; and hole diffusion constant=11.5 cm2/s.

Garlic odor when moistened. Finely divided gallium arsenide can react vigorously with steam, energetic acids, and oxidizers to evolve arsine gas, and can release arsenic fumes when heated to decomposition. The molten form attacks quartz.

Physical properties

Gray cubic crystal; density 5.316 g/cm3; melts at 1,227°C; hardness 4.5 Mohs; lattice constant 5.653?; dielectric constant 11.1; resistivity (intrinsic) at 27°C, 3.7x108 ohm-cm.

Uses

In semiconductor applications (transistors, solar cells, lasers).Gallium arsenide is among the most widely used intermetallic semiconductor components (Harrison, 1986; McIntyr and Sherin, 1989). Gallium arsenide is also incorporated into light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic cells, while gallium alloys are used for dental amalgam as a low toxicity replacement for mercury.

Uses

Gallium arsenide is electroluminscent in infrared light and is used for telephone equipment, lasers, solar cell, and other electronic devices. GaAs is used as the substrate of the infrared low-pass filter.

Preparation

Gallium arsenide is prepared by passing a mixture of arsenic vapor and hydrogen over gallium(III) oxide heated at 600°C: Ga2O3 + 2As + 3H2 2GaAs + 3H2O
The molten material attacks quartz. Therefore, quartz boats coated with carbon by pyrolytic decomposition of methane should be used in refining the compound to obtain high purity material. Gallium arsenide is produced in polycrystalline form as high purity, single crystals for electronic applications. It is produced as ingots or alloys, combined with indium arsenide or gallium phosphide, for semiconductor applications.

Production Methods

Gallium (Ga) and arsenic (As), heated in a vacuum to eliminate oxygen, are filled in the silica boat and the boat is vacuum-sealed in a silica tube. A single crystal is obtained by putting the silica tube into the horizontal Stockbarger furnace with three zones: A (605℃), B (1250℃) and C (1100℃), and by transporting the tube in the direction A→B→C with the speed of 2 cm/h. The Czochralski method can also be used (refer to InAs).
The vapor phase method can be used to deposit the thin films. For instance, the GaAs single crystal is grown on the low temperature area by heating the closed tube filled with GaAs together with I2, Cl2, or HCl gas with a temperature gradient. Using this method, we can grow the epitaxial layer.

General Description

Dark gray crystals with a metallic greenish-blue sheen or gray powder. Melting point 85.6°F (29.78°C).

Air & Water Reactions

Stable in dry air. Tarnishes in moist air. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

GALLIUM ARSENIDE can react with steam, acids and acid fumes. Reacts with bases with evolution of hydrogen. Attacked by cold concentrated hydrochloric acid. Readily attacked by the halogens. The molten form attacks quartz.

Hazard

Toxic metal. Questionable carcinogen

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for GALLIUM ARSENIDE are not available; however, GALLIUM ARSENIDE is probably combustible.

Safety Profile

Confirmed carcinogen. Mddly toxic by intraperitoneal route. Most arsenic compounds are poisons. Can react with steam, acids, and acid fumes to evolve the deadly poisonous arsine. Molten gallium arsenide attacks quartz. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of As. See also ARSENIC COMPOUNDS and GALLIUM COMPOUNDS.

Carcinogenicity

Carcinogenesis.
Gallium is antineoplastic in several human and murine cancer cell lines and in some in vivo cancers. It has been used experimentally in patients in the treatment of lymphatic malignancies (including multiple myelomas) and for urothelial malignancies. However, the dissociation of gallium arsenide into gallium and arsenic is a factor to take into account. A considerable number of studies have evaluated the carcinogenic potential of arsenic and various arsenic compounds.

Structure and conformation

The space lattice of gallium arsenide (GaAs) belongs to the cubic system Td2, and its zincblende-type structure has a lattice constant of a=0.5654 nm and a distance to its nearest neighbor of 0.244 nm.
