Triethylgallium, Ga(C₂H₅)₃, or TEGa, is a metalorganic source of gallium for metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of compound semiconductors.

Properties[]

TEGa is a clear, colorless, pyrophoric liquid^[2] and should be handled with caution.

Applications[]

TEGa can be a useful alternative to trimethylgallium in the metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy of compound semiconductors because films grown using TEGa have been shown to have a lower carbon impurity concentration.^[3]
