The intrinsic rate capability and the ageing properties of the ResistivePlate Chambers are closely related to the electrodes material and to thefront-end electronics threshold. The development of a low noise pre-amplifierled us to improve the intrinsic rate capability of High Pressure Laminate(bakelite) up to $\sim10\;kHz/cm^2$, nevertheless the effective rate issignificantly limited by electrodes ageing. To further improve the effectiverate capability new materials are investigated. A Resistive Plate Chamber withcrystalline semi-insulating Gallium Arsenide electrodes has been characterizedwith high energy electrons beam at the Beam Test Facility (BFT), (INFN NationalLaboratory of Frascati, Italy). The response of the Resistive Plate Chamber tomultiple bunched electrons was measured operating the detector in avalanchemode. The intrinsic rate capability has been also measured operating thedetector in a uniform high energy gamma radiation field at the GIF++ facility(EHN1 of SPS, CERN).
