In the last few years, advancements in telecommunications for mass use have been the driving factor of growth among InP reclaim wafers manufacturers. While every other industry suffered from downtime, InP producers experienced growth, hampered only by challenged supply lines that impacted the entire sector.
Unlike silicon, Indium Phosphide offers a direct bandgap feature and excellent electron mobility, which makes it ideal for high-frequency and optoelectronic applications. However, these types of wafers are in demand in a variety of industries, and to fulfill those needs, they need to come in all different types and sizes.
Substrates made of Indium Phosphorus come in a range of sizes to suit a variety of electronics and photonics applications. The market can be categorized into:
Larger substrates, like 4 and 6 inches, enable high-volume production and increase efficiency, while smaller substrates, like 2 and 3 inches, are best for prototyping and specialized applications.
These sizes' scalability complements developments in high-speed data transfer and telecommunications, increasing demand in industries like semiconductor manufacturing and optoelectronics.
A wide and versatile variety of substrate sizes enhanced the InP wafer market's accessibility and growth potential. This is crucial as industries increasingly rely on high-performance, cost-effective materials.
