Trimethylgallium (TMG) has a wide range of applications. Nanda Optoelectronics is a leading company in the domestic industry.
Trimethylgallium, referred to as TMG, is a chemical substance with the molecular formula C3H9Ga. It appears as a colorless and transparent liquid. It is toxic and easily oxidized in the air. It spontaneously ignites at room temperature and reacts violently with water to form Me2GaOH and [(Me2Ga)2O. ]X.
There are various production methods for trimethylgallium, mainly including the gallium magnesium alloy haloalkane method, which uses high-purity gallium magnesium alloy and ether solvent as raw materials, in a synthesis kettle reactor filled with inert gases such as argon, by adding haloalkane and reducing pressure. , distillation, separation and other steps to generate trimethylgallium; the synthesis method of methylaluminum and alkyl halide refers to the method of using alkyl halide and trimethylaluminum as raw materials to perform a synthesis reaction in an inert solution to generate trimethylgallium.
According to the “Trimethylgallium Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, Trimethylgallium has a wide range of applications. It can be used as a MO source product in MOCVD metal organic chemical vapor deposition and MOMBE metal organic molecular beam epitaxy processes; it can be used for high gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, gallium aluminum arsenide and electron mobility. Semiconductor materials and equipment production scenarios such as transistors, solar cells, sensors, LED lighting, liquid crystal displays, and integrated circuits; can be used as a catalyst in olefin polymerization reactions and addition reactions; can be used in cancer treatment drug production scenarios, and the market demand is relatively broad .
At present, my country has Jiangsu Nanda Optoelectronic Materials Co., Ltd., Suzhou Puyao Optoelectronic Materials Co., Ltd., Guangdong Leading Thin Materials Co., Ltd., Dalian Kelide Semiconductor Materials and other companies entering the trimethylgallium production field, and the level of localization is constantly improving. Trimethylgallium is a technology-intensive industry. Due to technical limitations, local companies still have a large gap compared with leading international companies such as AkzoNobel, Merck, and Dow in terms of product quality, purity, production technology, and cost. , local companies will still need to continue to optimize production processes in the future, and there is huge room for industry growth.
Nanda Optoelectronics is a leading enterprise in my country’s trimethylgallium industry. The purity of the company’s trimethylgallium products can reach 6N level and above, and related synthesis, purification, analysis, packaging and other technologies have reached the international leading level. In the future, as leading companies continue to play a leading role, the development trend of my country’s trimethylgallium industry will be positive.
Industry analysts said that trimethylgallium is the most widely used type of MO source products. It plays an important role in the manufacturing of semiconductor materials and equipment. In recent years, against the background of the booming development of the domestic semiconductor industry, the demand for trimethylgallium has been increasing, and the industry has shown good development prospects. Trimethylgallium is a technology-intensive industry, and the technical barriers to high-purity trimethylgallium are relatively high. At present, there are only a small number of domestic production companies and the output is low. In the future, local companies will need to continue to optimize production processes and increase research and development of high-end products. Promote the rapid development of the industry.
