Almae Acquires III-V Facilities, Technology

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Semiconductor IP provider Almae Technologies SAS is taking over the facilities of spin-off company III-V Lab to use its epitaxy reactors and electronic nanolithography equipment for the production of semiconductor wafers for the telecommunications market.

With over 2000 m2 of clean rooms, Almae said it will have an annual full production capacity of several thousand semiconductor wafers, incorporating new-generation laser components that support high-speed access over optical fiber.

Along with the equipment acquisition, Almae will benefit from a technology transfer from III-V Lab with operation support for the laboratory’s R&D team in laser design, fabrication and characterization.

Almae Technologies designs and produces indium phosphide wafers used to implement photonic circuits integrating semiconductor lasers. III-V develops optoelectronic and microelectronic components based on semiconductors and their integration with silicon circuits.

Glossary
lithography
Lithography is a key process used in microfabrication and semiconductor manufacturing to create intricate patterns on the surface of substrates, typically silicon wafers. It involves the transfer of a desired pattern onto a photosensitive material called a resist, which is coated onto the substrate. The resist is then selectively exposed to light or other radiation using a mask or reticle that contains the pattern of interest. The lithography process can be broadly categorized into several...
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
optoelectronics
Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
