The "InP 101" Workshop
 
Fast-track access to understanding the basics of InP technologies

The live taping of the InP 101 workshop took place February 26th, in San Diego, California in conjunction with Gorham's Compound Semiconductor Outlook 2001 Conference.

The Workshop and Video

What's all the excitement about InP? Indium Phosphide (InP), along with Gallium Nitride (GaN) is the other top material science field on today's compound semiconductor scene. Noted especially for the incredible operating speeds that material type permits, the industry's key systems integrators of broadband fiberoptic and wireless components, such as Nortel Networks, Motorola, Lucent, Marconi, Infineon, JDS Uniphase, etc... are moving rapidly in the direction of employing InP-based components for their next generation communication systems. Financial and mainstream market professionals are discovering quickly that silicon technologies are being displaced by InP at the heart of many leading edge applications.

What does InP 101 cover? CompoundSemi Online's 2001 InP 101 Workshop is a basic primer on the field, presenting state of the art growth as bulk substrates, epiwafers, leading device designs, and their practical applications. InP is used in both photonic and electronic applications. Typical photonic device types include: lasers, photodetectors, optical modulators and amplifiers, waveguide-based devices, quantum photonic devices, and both optoelectronic and photonic integrated circuits as well as new devices for optical communications, switching, networking and signal processing. InP is also a leading edge material for solar cells. Typical InP electronic device types include: HEMTs, HBTs and FET devices, millimeter wave and microwave circuits, and high-speed digital ICs. InP also helps create excellent pseudomorphic and lattice-matched devices due to its low noise and power characteristics and unique devices have been created based on InP's quantum effect, resonant tunneling, mesoscopic and single-electron phenomena.

The instructors... Leading authorities in the field are instructing this workshop and include: Matthew Schurman, who was Applications and Advanced Research Director at Emcore at the time the video was recorded, and who is now Director of Operations at Qusion, an InP startup in New Jersey, and Jeff Ramer, Sr. Staff Scientist, both of EMCORE Corporation. Emcore is providing the key InP production tools as well as independent InP epiwafer foundry services to a number of major component and module developers. Joe Jensen, Department head of the Ultra High Speed Circuits Department at HRL Laboratories addresses leading edge device designs and extremely high speed component manufacturing. In addition, UCLA professor, Mark Goorsky presenst an overview of current and projected InP substrate capability.

Who will benefit from this video? Anyone desiring an energetic, informative, fast-paced overview on this exciting technology, whether you are new to the compounds, want to catch up on some of the recent developments, or just want to hear from the competition. Just some of the types of people who attended the live taping and were involved in direct dialog with the instructors are: market and financial analysts, technology marketers, and a number of professional technologists retraining themselves to move forward from silicon and the more mature compound semiconductor technologies. Systems designers considering InP for next generation networks will also benefit greatly by viewing this workshop.
