InAs nanowire sensors

We are reinventing a new state-of-the-art Indium Arsenide (InAs) nanowire avalanche photodiode (APD) on silicon substrate.

Using semiconductor devices, network analysers and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), we will grow an InAs nanowire APD on silicon-on-insulator substrate for a high speed and low-cost coherent optical communication system.
