Aluminum gallium phosphide

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aluminum gallium phosphide , (Al x Ga 1 − x P), is a III-V compound semiconductor and an alloy of the two substances aluminum phosphide and gallium phosphide . Like the similar alloy aluminum gallium indium phosphide (AlInGaP), the material is used to manufacture green light-emitting diodes . The band gap, which is essential for the color or wavelength of the emitted light , depends on the mixing ratio x of the two starting substances:
