Triethylgallium is the organogallium compound with the formul Ga(C₂H₅)₃. Also called TEGa, it is a metalorganic source of gallium for metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of compound semiconductors. It is a colorless pyrophoric liquid, typically handled with air-free techniques. It was discovered by Cornell University chemists L. M. Dennis and Winton Patnode in 1931.
