Beryllium Compounds
   Beryllium oxide
Beryllium oxide BeO
: Carcinogenic :
Beryllium oxide is used in many high-performance semiconductor parts for applications such as radio equipment because it has good thermal conductivity while also being a good electrical insulator. It is also used as a structural ceramic for high-performance vacuum tubes, magnetrons, and gas lasers.
