Indium Phosphide

We have one of the leading Indium Phosphide fabrication facilities in the world with comprehensive, in-house manufacturing from epitaxial growth to wafer and chip fabrication.

Optoelectronic design and manufacturing requires a deep understanding of material technology and their interactions, device structures and the operation of associated complex manufacturing processes and equipment to build the needed layer structure with atomic-level precision. At the core of our business lies our laser and photo-detector technology, which allows us to efficiently design products that meet or exceed the power, size, temperature performance and reliability requirements of our customers.

In the development and manufacture of Indium Phosphide based lasers and photo-detectors, we utilize accumulated knowledge in areas such as semiconductor epitaxial growth, semiconductor material systems, quantum well design and band gap engineering, to achieve high speed performance, wide operating temperature ranges and precise wavelength control for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing, or DWDM, resulting in high manufacturing yield and throughput, and reduced cycle time.

In our monolithic PICs, we use a combination of highly flexible, multi-stage epitaxial growth via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, or MOCVD, integration technologies such as Selective Area Growth, or SAG, and low loss coupling waveguide interconnects between active and passive sections, which are the key building blocks enabling the large scale integration of multiple active and passive features in Indium Phosphide on the same chip.

CyOptics has been a long-time industry leader in the design, fabrication and quality assurance of  high-performance laser and detector chips, with over 25 million devices operating in the field  and with >350 billion service hours  (<1 FIT) since 2005 providing an unsurpassed record for ultra-high reliability.
