Used in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly in the production of gallium-based compound semiconductors like gallium nitride and gallium arsenide. Acts as a precursor in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) processes to grow high-purity crystalline layers for optoelectronic devices such as LEDs and laser diodes. Also employed in research for synthesizing gallium-containing materials with tailored electronic properties. Its reactivity makes it suitable for catalytic applications in organic transformations involving iodine transfer.
