IQE launches industry first 6" InP DFB Laser Platform for AI and
data centre applications
IQE plc (AIM: IQE, "IQE" or the "Group"), the leading supplier
of compound semiconductor wafer products and advanced material
solutions to the global semiconductor industry , is pleased to
announce the industry's first 150 mm (6") Indium Phosphide (InP)
platform enabling the scaled production of electro-optic devices at
the core of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and
cloud data centre networks.
In collaboration with Kelvin Nanotechnology and the James Watt
Nanofabrication Centre, IQE has developed a process-ready 6"
Distributed Feedback (DFB) InP laser wafer platform, enabling
customers to deliver high-volume laser solutions supporting the
rapid growth in high-speed optical data links.
IQE's data infrastructure semiconductor materials are employed
across a diverse range of transceiver platforms. As a pioneer in
InP, IQE is further demonstrating the technology's scalability,
enabling a step change in volume manufacturing to satisfy an
increasing demand for DFB lasers. This also ensures optical
interconnect technology remains cost competitive, as network
traffic scales to meet the requirements of generative AI and data
intensive applications.
Peter Rabbeni, Senior Vice President, Communications
Infrastructure and Security Business Unit of IQE, commented:
"We are pleased to be able to offer our data infrastructure
customers an industry first, laser epitaxy on a 6" InP wafer
platform. Scaling our current laser materials technology to deliver
a fab-ready service at this size provides an immediate competitive
advantage and faster time to market."
Dr. Brendan Casey, CEO of Kelvin Nanotechnology, commented:
"We are delighted to be able to demonstrate a DFB grating
technology fully deployed on a 6" InP platform with high yield and
uniformity, and we look forward to working with IQE in bringing
this capability to the market."
