Hi Oz.
I´m far from a physicist or chemist and don´t wanna play teacher, but the combined materials are called III-V because of their placement at the periodic system of elements:
Ga = III, As = V
Anadigics mergerer is called II-VI: http://www.ii-vi.com
All the best to all of us for the months ahead (patience! months, not weeks!)
