Indium Phosphide Lasers Monolithically Grown on 300nm Silicon

Imec and Ghent University demonstrated for the first time the ability to grow indium phosphide lasers monolithically integrated on 300mm silicon substrates in a CMOS pilot line. The researchers used a production grade metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxial (MOVPE) growth reactor to grow an indium phosphide semiconductor in a pre-patterned oxide template , realizing indium phosphide waveguide arrays across the entire 300mm substrate. Such laser-powered...
