    indium gallium arsenide
    Indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) is a semiconductor compound composed of indium (In), gallium (Ga), and arsenic (As). It belongs to the III-V group of semiconductors and is commonly used in optoelectronic devices, photovoltaics, and high-speed electronics due to its unique properties. Bandgap engineering: The bandgap of InGaAs can be tailored by adjusting the ratio of indium to gallium atoms in the compound. By varying the composition, the bandgap can be tuned to cover a wide range of...
