Gallium Products

Gallium Metal, Chemicals and Alloys


Vital Materials is world’s leading supplier of gallium metal & chemicals used in bulk or smaller quantities, and used in metal-organic source, light emitting diodes (LED), high frequency electronics, fast switching applications as well as in solar cell applications. Vital Materials has a vertically integrated manufacturing approach whereby Gallium can be extracted from the ore in-house, and following in-house production techniques upgraded up to a 7N purity.

Our advanced material solutions with Gallium include: GaAs substrates or wafers, TMGA gasses for MOCVD / MBE growth, CIGS targets.

Properties

Gallium is a silvery metal with a shiny surface and was discovered by the French chemist Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1875. Gallium is recovered as a byproduct during alumina production. Gallium is one of the few metals that melt just above room temperature.


Applications

  • Gallium can be used to prepare III-V compound semiconductors, such as gallium nitride, gallium arsenide and gallium antimony.
  • Can be used for CIGS thin film solar materials, LED, etc.
  • Gallium chloride Ultra-high purity gallium can be used in MBE process
  • Gallium and low-melt alloys can be used as heat exchange media for nuclear reaction
  • It can be used as filler for high temperature thermometers and as catalyst for diesterification in organic reactions.
  • GaO as a High Purity Analytical Reagent and Semiconductor Material for the Electronic Industry
  • Gallium trichloride can be used in MOCVD process and is used for spectroscopic analysis and organic reaction catalysts to synthesize important raw materials of organic gallium reagents
  • Trimethylgallium and triethylgallium can be used to make solar cells. The raw materials of MOCVD process are used to prepare GaAs, AsGaAl and other semiconductor compounds. Ga is a source for manufacturing electronic components such as light emitting diodes.
