· InAs

Indium arsenide (InAs) is a III–V compound semiconductor with a direct bandgap, widely recognized for its narrow energy gap and high carrier mobility at room temperature. It is a cornerstone material in infrared optoelectronics, high-speed transistors, and quantum device research, chosen over silicon and gallium arsenide when sensitivity to infrared wavelengths or extreme operating speeds are critical requirements.

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.
