As the world’s population grows and accumulates in cities, the worry for arable land grows. That’s why vertical gardens became an interesting alternative. And to do so, a high-quality InP wafer is crucial due to its optoelectrical properties.
These structures have self-irrigation systems and artificial lights to grow vegetables without the need for miles and miles of fertile soil. In this article, we’ll explore the relationships between InP wafers and them.

Growing plants vertically has been a practice for centuries, dating back to the ancient civilizations who used trellises and espaliers, among other tools. Nonetheless, recent years have seen an acceleration in the development of technologies and methods for vertical gardening.
These days, smart vertical gardens seek to maximize available area and resources while providing a different approach to community sustainability. To provide nutrients straight to the roots, they use hydroponic systems, and automated systems allow for precise control over environmental elements like humidity, temperature, and lighting.
Since most vertical gardens are indoors, artificial light is necessary for their growth. And here’s where InP wafers come in. When it comes to optoelectronic technology that work on the principle of converting light into electricity, indium phosphide is the best.
Because of its superior electron velocity compared to other materials such as silicon, InP devices can operate at higher frequencies, and its direct bandgap characteristic makes it perfect for optoelectronic applications.
Whether or not vertical gardens will expand to the point of being able to sustain entire cities, we can’t be sure yet. However, we can see that InP wafers will play a crucial role in this future. If you’re interested in learning more about our Wafer World’s semiconductors, give us a call!
