Soitec-Led Project Targets High-Frequency Semiconductors

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BERNIN, France, Sept. 11, 2024 — Move2THz, a European research and industry consortium led by Soitec, has commenced work to develop a future generation of high-frequency semiconductors based on indium phosphide (InP). The 27-member consortium plans to lay the groundwork for a European supply and manufacturing ecosystem for InP semiconductors. The initiative further plans to address barriers to their wider adoption — including the cost and availability of InP-based advanced substrates. InP devices can operate at frequencies approaching or exceeding 1 THz, offering superior speeds and increased energy efficiency...Read full article

    indium phosphide
    Indium phosphide (InP) is a compound semiconductor material composed of indium (In) and phosphorus (P). It belongs to the III-V group of semiconductors, where elements from groups III and V of the periodic table combine to form a variety of important semiconductor materials. Indium phosphide is known for its favorable electronic and optical properties, making it widely used in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices. Key features and properties of indium phosphide include: Bandgap:...
    terahertz
    Terahertz (THz) refers to a unit of frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, denoting waves with frequencies between 0.1 and 10 terahertz. One terahertz is equivalent to one trillion hertz, or cycles per second. The terahertz frequency range falls between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Key points about terahertz include: Frequency range: The terahertz range spans from approximately 0.1 terahertz (100 gigahertz) to 10 terahertz. This corresponds to...
