arsine

Semiconductor dopant gas

Arsine is a highly toxic, colorless gas with a faint garlic odor, composed of arsenic and hydrogen.

It forms during industrial processes involving arsenic-containing materials and poses severe poisoning risks through inhalation.

In chemistry, arsine also refers broadly to compounds derived from this parent molecule, analogous to how amine describes nitrogen-based compounds.
