Description of InP Wafer:

Indium phosphide wafers(InP wafers) are prepared from indium phosphide which is a binary semiconductor. InP wafer offers a superior electron velocity than most of the other popular semiconductors such as silicon. This superior electron velocity makes it the most useful compound for optoelectronic applications, rapid transistors, and resonance tunneling diodes. The most common use of InP wafers is in high-frequency and high-power electronic devices. InP wafer is also widely used in high-speed fiber optic communication because indium phosphide emits and detects wavelengths above 1000nm. InP wafer is also used as a substrate for laser and photodiodes in Datacom and Telecom applications. With the advent of 5G on the horizon, the InP wafer market will touch the summit. As a result, InP wafers will be the most desired wafers to use in optical fiber connections, metro-ring access networks, company networks, data centers, etc. We are offering a 99.99% pure InP wafer that will be most efficient and effective.
