Features Of Electronic Specialty Gas Arsine AsH3

  1. Ultra-high purity (99.999% / 5.0 grade) with stringent particulate and moisture control for semiconductor-grade deposition processes.

  2. Consistent cylinder-to-cylinder reproducibility, certified via GC-MS and FTIR trace impurity analysis per SEMI F57 standards.

  3. Stabilized packaging in electropolished stainless-steel cylinders with VCR® metal gasket seals to prevent adsorption and degradation.

  4. Comprehensive lot-specific Certificates of Analysis (CoA) including ppb-level detection of H₂O, O₂, CO, CO₂, and hydrocarbons.

  5. Integrated leak-tight delivery systems with ASME B31.3-compliant gas panels and dedicated arsine-compatible regulators.

Typical Applications Of Electronic Specialty Gas Arsine AsH3

  1. Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of gallium arsenide (GaAs) layers for high-frequency RF devices and optoelectronic lasers.

  2. Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of III–V compound semiconductors in advanced power electronics and photovoltaic cell fabrication.

  3. Doping of silicon wafers during ion implantation and in-situ doping in epitaxial silicon-germanium (SiGe) growth.

  4. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) precursors for arsenide-based barrier and interface engineering in advanced logic nodes.

  5. Research-scale synthesis of low-dimensional arsenide nanomaterials (e.g., InAs quantum dots, GaAs nanowires) under controlled UHV environments.

Electronic Specialty Gas Arsine AsH3 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Arsine (AsH₃)?

A: The CAS Registry Number for arsine is 7784-42-1.


Q2: How is arsine typically handled to minimize exposure risk during transfer and use?

A: Arsine must be used only in certified ventilated gas cabinets with continuous H₂S/AsH₃ monitoring, double-contained tubing, and automatic emergency shutoff valves; all personnel require HAZMAT training and real-time personal air sampling.


Q3: How does electronic-grade AsH₃ differ from technical-grade arsine in terms of impurity profile?

A: Electronic-grade AsH₃ limits total metallic impurities to <1 ppt (by ICP-MS), non-volatile residues to <1 ng/cylinder, and excludes phosphine (PH₃) and silane (SiH₄) contaminants that cause defect nucleation in epitaxial layers.


Q4: Is arsine compatible with standard stainless-steel gas lines, or does it require specialized materials?

A: Standard 316L SS is acceptable *only* when electropolished (Ra < 0.4 µm), passivated, and dedicated exclusively to arsine; copper, brass, or aluminum components must be avoided due to catalytic decomposition and embrittlement risks.
