GaAs is a compound semiconductor with III-V direct bandgap that is used in a variety of applications. It is a zinc blende crystal structure composed of two elements: gallium (Ga) and arsenide (As). It is used as a substrate for the epitaxial growth of other semiconductors like aluminum gallium arsenide and indium gallium arsenide. Attributed to its superior thermal conductivity, lightweight, and natural abundance, silicon is the most commonly used material for semiconductor devices. GaAs semiconductors are also popular, which are prized for their high carrier mobility and optoelectronic applications. Due to these characteristics, GaAs is used for GaAs on silicon in a variety of applications such as LD, LED, microwave circuit, and solar cell applications. Furthermore, these can be used in high electron mobility transistors, hetero junction bipolar transistors, photovoltaic devices, and other devices.
