  "id": "MLC-T-SEM-000145",
  "term": "Gallium arsenide",
  "field": "Semiconductors",
  "definition": "A compound semiconductor formed from gallium and arsenic, known for its high electron mobility and direct bandgap. This material is used in high-frequency microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits, as well as in optoelectronic devices such as laser diodes and LEDs. Its electron mobility is approximately five times higher than that of silicon.",
