Gallium Arsenide substrates

Gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrates are specialized material foundations used to build electronic devices like high-speed chips and lasers. Made from a combination of the elements gallium and arsenic, GaAs offers superior electrical properties compared to silicon, such as faster signal processing and better performance at high frequencies. These substrates provide a smooth, stable surface for growing intricate semiconductor layers, enabling the creation of advanced electronic components. GaAs is particularly valued for its efficiency in applications requiring high-speed data transmission, optoelectronics, and microwave technologies.
