Quick Summary

Aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) is a semiconductor compound primarily used in the manufacturing of laser diodes. It is a compound that combines aluminum, gallium, and arsenic. Gallium itself is a metal discovered in 1875, known for its low melting point and its ability to expand when solidifying. AlGaAs is one of several compounds formed by gallium with other elements that possess valuable semiconductor properties.12
