Next Generation III-V Semiconductor Wafer Platform for Large-Format Integrated Photonics

Next Generation III-V Semiconductor Wafer Platform for Large-Format Integrated Photonics

Project

In this project, we will revolutionize the fabrication of III-V semiconductor devices, pushing Canada to the forefront of the next era of digital communications and consumer electronics. Currently, high-quality III-V materials need to be grown on small, expensive substrates like GaN, sapphire, and SiC, which can lead to challenges in integrating fabricated devices into conventional manufacturing lines. We will eliminate the need for these costly wafers and fabrication processes, not only simplifying manufacturing but also accelerating the adoption of III-V devices in industries like displays, silicon photonics, and clean energy, enabled by our patented OmniChip substrate platform, incorporating next-gen delamination and near-zero-strain layers.

"Omniply is creating a novel template technology that will allow high-quality III-V semiconducting materials to be grown on large-format silicon wafers, and then be removed for use in devices. This will make it easier and more cost-effective to manufacture high-end electronics such as microLED displays and high-performance transistors in Canada."
