Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'gallium semiconductor-grade' is an inorganic substance with a CAS no. : 007440-55-3. It is called 'gallium' under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: Ga. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure with no information available about its odor. The substance is produced and purified to 99.9999% Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. On a consumer level is used in the following products: Electrical and electronic products On industrial sites the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: Hardener/alloy agent for secondary aluminum processing high purity gallium is combined with other elements through thin film deposition onto substrate wafers to make LED's transistors etc... aslo combined with other high purity substances like arsenic or nitrides and a boule (crystal) is grown in a furnace operation. These are sliced into thin wafers to be used as substrates for semi-conducting products. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
