WSI buys MOCVD for VCSEL work
Devices with a wavelength of 1.55-2.00microns will be manufactured based on the (InGa-Al) (As-P-Sb) material system. These devices could be used as key components of fibre optic communication systems.
Professor Dr Amann, leader of the WSI’s Semiconductor Technology group, further comments: "We look very much forward to continue our research project on promising antimony compound layers with state-of-the-art Aixtron MOCVD equipment."
The WSI is focused on strengthening the interaction between basic physics and semiconductor electronics research. With a total area of about 2400m2 laboratory and office space the WSI accommodates four research groups - Experimental Semiconductor Physics I, Experimental Semiconductor Physics II, Semiconductor Technology and Theoretical Semiconductor Physics. The Semiconductor Technology group concentrates on VCSELs and edge-emitting lasers with wavelengths up to 10microns as well as millimeter wave devices.
