Aluminium Gallium Arsenide Epi Wafer

Aluminium Gallium Arsenide Epi Wafer

Aluminium gallium arsenide epi wafer (AlGaAs or AlxGa1−xAs) is a semiconductor wafer material with very nearly the same lattice constant as GaAs, but a larger bandgap. The x in the formula stands a number between 0 and 1 – this indicates an arbitrary alloy between GaAs and AlAs. The AlGaAs should be considered an abbreviated form of the chemical formula, instead of any particular ratio.

The aluminium gallium arsenide bandgap is 1.42 eV (GaAs) ~2.16 eV (AlAs). For x < 0.4, the bandgap is direct. The refractive index of Aluminium gallium arsenide is 2.9 (x = 1) ~3.5 (x = 0). Due to the properties of aluminium gallium arsenide, the AlGaAs material can be used for the construction of Bragg mirrors in VCSELs and RCLEDs. You can buy gallium aluminum arsenide epitaxy with following structures, or you can offer PAM-XIAMEN your GaAs epi structure to customize:

2. Application of Aluminium Gallium Arsenide Epi Wafer

Aluminium gallium arsenide wafer is used for GaAs-based heterostructure devices such as quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP), VCSELs, RED LED, red double-hetero-structure laser diodes, HEMT devices, Hall sensors and etc. The aluminium gallium arsenide LED with an active layer of Ga1-xAlxAs emits the red light.
