Since the early 1970s, scientists have been promoting gallium arsenide as a faster, more efficient substrate material than silicon for making integrated-circuit chips. However, the vast majority of ...

In 2001, Motorola developed a technique that places a spongy layer between gallium arsenide and silicon on the same wafer. Combining these two materials yields a higher-speed product at a lower cost.

Researchers at Imec have found a way to grow lasers directly on silicon Imec’s lasers use gallium arsenide, a material that ...

Scientists successfully used 13,000 nuclear spins in a gallium arsenide (GaAs) quantum dot system to create a scalable quantum register.

As great as silicon is for semiconductor applications, it has one weakness in that using it for lasers isn’t very practical. Never say never though, as it turns out that you can now grow ...

A Belgian-Canadian research team claims to have found a way to develop gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells at a lower cost while maintaining high power conversion efficiencies. The scientists said ...

The synthesis involved a gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cell with a gallium indium arsenide phosphide emitter layer. NREL has unveiled a new design for III-V rear heterojunction solar cells based ...
