caption_attribution_description: English: A pristine 2-inch single crystal gallium arsenide wafer with a (100) surface orientation. Purple features are a reflection of a nitrile glove.עברית: פרוסה בקוטר 2 אינצ' של גליום ארסנייד חד גביש עם אוריינטציית פני-שטח (100). על גבי הפרוסה ניתן להבחין בהשתקפות של כפפת ניטריל בצבע סגול.
context_page_description: Gallium arsenide It is a III-V direct band gap semiconductor with a zinc blende crystal structure.
  Gallium arsenide is used in the manufacture of devices such as microwave frequency integrated circuits, monolithic microwave integrated circuits, infrared light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, solar cells and optical windows.
  GaAs is often used as a substrate material for the epitaxial growth of other III-V semiconductors, including indium gallium arsenide, aluminum gallium arsenide and others.
