"Isn't gallium also used in making some semi chips?"

Gallium arsenide is used for optoelectronics.

"I can't imagine its very plentiful."

That doesn't follow. Silicon is used, and silicon is an extremely common element.

Now, as it turns out, there isn't much gallium extracted per year. It is usually the byproduct of aluminum or zinc mining, and currently has a small market, i.e. the semiconductor market.
