> arsine

Had a client in the 80's that used Arsine to make gallium arsnide LED's. Arsine gave the techs and engineers the creeps.

I worked in a GaAs fab a couple years ago, they still do.

Although with all the other fun chemicals in use, safety training could be summarized as "and this one will kill you in this horrible way if something goes wrong/you do something wrong".

One of the old engineers that had been there since the late 60's. Said on the bright side at least Arsine catches fire when you have serious leak.
