Gallium nitride on silicon

Gallium nitride on silicon (GaN-on-Si) is a semiconductor technology that grows gallium nitride on low-cost silicon wafers, combining GaN's high-voltage performance with silicon's manufacturing scale for 5G amplifiers and chargers.

Gallium nitride on silicon carbide

Gallium nitride on silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) is a semiconductor technology that grows GaN epitaxial layers on SiC substrates for high-power radio-frequency transistors and radar amplifiers.

Gallium oxide power devices

Gallium oxide power devices are semiconductor switches and rectifiers made from beta-phase gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃), whose high breakdown field exceeds silicon carbide and gallium nitride.

Gallium oxide power electronics

Gallium oxide power electronics are rectifiers and transistors built on beta-phase gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃), an ultra-wide-bandgap semiconductor promising lower conduction losses than silicon carbide or GaN devices.

Gallium oxide power transistors

Gallium oxide power transistors are field-effect transistors that use beta-phase gallium oxide, an ultra-wide-bandgap semiconductor, as the channel for high-voltage power switching and radio-frequency electronics.

Gallium phosphide

Gallium phosphide is an indirect-bandgap III-V semiconductor, transparent and orange in appearance, that drove commercial LED production in the early 1970s and now serves as an optical substrate.

Gallium selenide

Gallium selenide (GaSe) is a layered semiconductor crystal, known since 1934, used for infrared and terahertz laser frequency conversion and studied as a two-dimensional optoelectronic material.

Gallium sulfide

Gallium sulfide (GaS) is a layered III–VI monochalcogenide semiconductor with a bulk band gap of 2.35 eV that widens above 3 eV in monolayer form, studied for photodetectors, transistors, and catalysis.

Gallium-67

Gallium-67 is a radioactive isotope of gallium with a 78.3-hour half-life, used since 1969 in gallium scintigraphy to image tumors and inflammation, later displaced largely by FDG PET.

Gallium-68

Gallium-68 (^68Ga) is a positron-emitting radioactive isotope of gallium with a half-life of about 68 minutes, used to label PET tracers for neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer.

Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET-CT

Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET-CT, also known as 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, is a nuclear medicine scan using a gallium-labeled somatostatin analog to image neuroendocrine tumors, FDA approved in 2016.

Gallium(III) oxide

Gallium(III) oxide (Ga₂O₃) is a compound of gallium and oxygen whose stable β phase has a roughly 4.8 eV bandgap and melt-grown crystals, enabling high-voltage power devices and solar-blind ultraviolet detection.
