metal· JVASP-115089· AlGaN
AlGaN is a III-nitride semiconductor alloy combining aluminum and gallium nitride, engineered for high-performance optoelectronic and power electronic devices. It is widely used in ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes, high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) for RF and power applications, and deep-UV photonics, where its wide bandgap and high thermal stability outperform traditional silicon and GaAs alternatives. The aluminum content can be tuned to control bandgap energy, making it particularly valuable for applications requiring operation at elevated temperatures or in harsh environments.

Export Control
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
