Future Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Hub
Lead Research Organisation:
CARDIFF UNIVERSITY
Department Name: School of Physics and Astronomy
Abstract
We will establish the primary global manufacturing research hub for Compound Semiconductors that brings together Academic and Industrial researchers. This will capitalize on existing academic expertise in Cardiff, Manchester, Sheffield and UCL and the UK indigenous corporate strength in the key advanced materials technology of Compound Semiconductors.
Cardiff, the Compound Semiconductor Centre and the other spoke universities will provide > £100M of additive capital leverage to the Hub, providing European leading facilities for large scale compound semiconductor epitaxial growth, device fabrication and characterisation enabling the most effective translation of research to manufacturing.
The hub will operate at the necessary scale and with the necessary reach to change the approach of the UK compound semiconductor research community to one focused on starting from research solutions that can be manufactured. It will do this by providing the necessary tools and expertise and will become the missing exploitation link for the UK compound semiconductor research community. It will be a magnet and the driver for high technology industry and will act as the focal point for Europe's 5th Semiconductor Cluster and the 1st dedicated to compound semiconductors. Partners will include local and UK companies and global organisations.
The importance of compound semiconductor technology cannot be overstated. It has underpinned the internet and enabled megatrends such as Smart Phones and Tablets, satellite communications / GPS, Direct Broadcast TV, energy efficient LED lighting, efficient solar power generation, high capacity communication networks, data storage, ground breaking healthcare and biotechnology.
Silicon has supported the information society in the 20th century and dominates memory and processor function, but is reaching fundamental limits. Whilst the combination of Silicon and compound semiconductors will produce a second revolution in the information age, they are very different materials with, for example, different fundamental lattice constants and different thermal properties and have different device fabrication requirements.
We propose research into large scale Compound Semiconductor manufacturing and in manufacturing integrated Compound Semiconductors on Silicon. The scale of the hub means we can bring together three world leading researchers in the growth of compound semiconductors on Silicon. Each has individually invented different solutions to tackle the silicon / compound semiconductor interface - together they will invent the universal solution. We will solve the scientific challenges in wafer size scale-up, process statistical control and integrated epitaxial growth and processing to facilitate new devices and integrated systems and open up completely new areas of research, only possible with reliable and reproducible fabrication, such as electronically controlled Qubits. We will facilitate the improved communication infrastructure necessary for the connected world and the integrated systems of the Internet of Things. We will produce large area integrated sensor arrays for, e.g. in-process Non-Destructive Testing, further benefiting manufacturing but also improving our safety and security. The key outcomes will be to
1) To radically boost the uptake and application of Compound Semiconductor technology by applying the manufacturing approaches of Silicon to Compound Semiconductors,
2) To exploit the highly advantageous electronic, magnetic, optical and power handling properties of Compound Semiconductors while utilising the cost and scaling advantage of silicon technology where best suited and
3) To generate novel integrated functionality such as sensing, data processing and communication.

Planned Impact
Societal
Compound Semiconductor materials are a Key Enabling Technology underpinning the operation of the internet and enabling emerging megatrends such as Smart Phone usage, satellite communications/GPS, Direct Broadcast TV, energy efficient lighting, efficient solar power generation, advanced healthcare and ground breaking biotechnology. Simply put these technologies support our connected world and the future health of the planet. The next generation of these technologies can only be achieved with the step change in compound semiconductor manufacturing that we will achieve here.
Economic
Our vision is to ensure that the UK's research strength in compound semiconductors will be embedded in manufacturable approaches so the UK can commercially address the opportunities that compound semiconductors will provide. The global market for compound semiconductors is currently worth around $33.7Bn, with a compound annual growth rate of 17.3%, and underpins 100s of billions dollar related industries from telecom to automotive. Expanding commercial activity in the compound semiconductor sector will provide an important boost for the UK economy and maintain UK advanced manufacturing competiveness. A good example of this is Cardiff headquartered IQE Plc, the global leader in supplying compound semiconductor materials (~£130M turnover).
Our aim is to strengthen the relationship between academia and industry and this will be achieved by 1) changing the mind set of researchers to start from solutions that allow rapid translation to production utilising e.g. creativity@home to change approach, providing access to production scale and research tools that are functionally similar along with highly skilled support for the tools and processes; 2) Co-location of research and industry staff to maximise cross fertilisation of ideas, techniques and approach in an environment that supports interaction.
The hub will directly fund 50% of a translation / business developer and also leverage staff in the Cardiff Semiconductor Centre.
The hub will support SMEs through product prototyping, IP generation, skills development and training. It will help bid for external grants, coordinate partner forums, form networks and prepare roadmaps.
Skills Base
The project offers an excellent training opportunity, inculcating a manufacturing mind set in a UK strategically relevant high technology field. We will embed technological excellence and the latest manufacturing approaches in UK industry. PDRAs and students will participate in high level meetings with the commercial organisations and will work alongside R&D staff from industry. There will also be a direct economic impact via the provision of skilled workers to relevant companies, a feature of our previous projects.
Outreach
The hub will fund 35% of an outreach specialist to lead and promote the reach and importance of compound semiconductors and the strategy and activity of the hub. The specialist and the team will address audiences from school students to stakeholders to politicians. Resources are requested to train researchers and staff in media interactions and outreach using a range of innovative formats such as performance and theatre production skills.
Knowledge Dissemination
Via conferences such as UK Semiconductors and Photonics West, the latter providing an excellent mix of science and commercial activity. We will publish in open access peer reviewed journals such as those from both the Nature and IEEE stables.
Our aim throughout will be to engage new partners and we will hold workshops, use feasibility funding, actively canvas and make use of our existing partners and contacts, relevant KTNs, the Welsh Optoelectronics Forum and other appropriate bodies to connect as widely as possible.

| Description | The CS Hub has become a founding unit and an integral component of the worlds first Compound Semiconductor Cluster, formed in South Wales from a number of key partners. This has significant potential impact in a variety of areas including the economy. The Cluster supports the successful translation of compound semiconductor research into industry-relevant production/manufacturing. We have successfully applied for an EPSRC funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing. This is essential in bridging the current skills gap reported by the Compound Semiconductor industry and enable the successful delivery of CS technology development via the CS Cluster. Together the Hub and CDT have the potential for wide economic and social impacts. One important research advance is the development of Quantum Well Hall Effect (QWHE) imaging techniques for real time imaging modalities. Magnetic imaging using QWHE is a superior alternative to metal detection using coils and this is now being applied to a range of industrial projects including concealed weapon and threat detection. We have increased sensitivity and lowered noise, while developing a real time imaging system with significant advantages over other available systems. The benefits of this technology are now been extended to more materials by enabling performance at higher frequencies by developing the CS components. Research outcomes on multi-colour micro-LED arrays support application in Virtual and Augmented reality displays and when coupled with developments on integrating micro-LEDs with HEMTs enable high frequency modulation for applications such as LiFi. A start-up company EpiPix Ltd has been created to exploit this work. Hub Research activity is enabling the scale up of the manufacturing of VCSELs and other important device types by developing new approaches to mitigate wafer bow and techniques to rapidly characterise the as grown wafers. |
| Exploitation Route | The research of the CS Hub is still progressing but has already demonstrated, through the involvement in e.g. the CS Cluster, a real commitment to translation of research, with the Hub forming the low TRL (1-3) foundation of the Cluster, with other Cluster members suitably positioned to work with the Hub to facilitate higher TRL level work. In addition, some outputs from the CS Hub's research have been taken forward and implemented via the Institute for Compound Semiconductors (ICS) at Cardiff University, which is an open access facility available to academics and industry partners throughout the UK and through the EPSRC National Epitaxy Facility. |

| Title | InP Quantum Dot Mode-Locked Laser Data |
| Description | InP QD materials were processed into gain-guided multi-segment contact devices for optical modal gain and modal absorption measurements, and also narrow ridge two-section FP lasers for mode-locking measurements. All numerical data are included in a folder called "InP QD mode-locked laser dataset", which contains 5 sub-folders called fig.2, fig.3, fig.4, fig.5 and fig.6, which are the experimental data shown in each corresponding figure. In folder fig.2, all data files are two-column .DAT type of optical gain and absorption measurements of gain-guided multi-segment contact devices, plotting in Figure 2 in the paper. Each file includes wavelength (left column, unit in nm) vs. optical gain and/or absorption (right column, arbitrary unit). The file with the name of "10mA", "20mA", ,"150mA" indicates the pumping current applied in each section for gain measurement. The file with the name of "Abs" corresponds to the absorption measurement results. In folder fig.3, all data files are three-column .TXT type of Current-Voltage (I-V) measurements of a narrow ridge mode-locked laser (MLL), plotting in Figure 3 in the paper. The MLL consists of two sections which is called gain section and saturable absorber (SA) section. Each file includes current (left column, unit in A), voltage (middle column, unit in V), and average optical power (right column, unit in W). Only the data in the left and middle columns were used to generate the I-V curves of MLL when operated in different conditions. The file with the name of "All forward" is the I-V data of the MLL measured with both two sections forward biased. The file with the name "SA 0v", "SA 1v", "SA 2v", "SA 3v", and "SA floating" corresponds to the I-V data of the MLL measured with the gain section forward biased, but SA section was applied reverse bias at 0v (grounded), 1v, 2v, 3v, and floating (open circuit), respectively. In folder fig.4, one data file with the name of "H3 80 mA 2.74 V" is three-column .DAT type of optical pulse-width measurement by using an autocorrelator. This file includes time (left column, unit in ps) vs. optical signal intensity (middle column, arbitrary unit), and a Sech2 fit of optical signal intensity shown in the right column with arbitrary unit. Two data files with the name of "H3 80.0 mA 2.74 V 9.7 Degrees RFA Trace (12.55 GHz Centre 10 MHz Span)" and "H3 80.0 mA 2.74 V 9.7 Degrees RFA Trace (13.25 GHz Centre 26.5 GHz Span)" are two-column .CSV type of repetition frequency measurement by using a fast photodetector and a RF spectrometer. Each of these files includes repetition frequency (left column, unit in Hz) vs. signal intensity (right column, unit in dB). The file name reveals the measurement parameters set in the RF spectrometer, which is scanning centre at 12.55GHz, scanning span of 10MHz and scanning centre at 13.25GHz, scanning span of 26.5GHz, respectively. The last data file with the name "lasing spectra" is two-column .CSV type of lasing spectrum measurement by using an optical spectrometer. This file includes wavelength (left column, unit in nm) vs. light intensity (right column, unit in dBm). Pulse-width, repetition frequency and lasing spectrum were taken at the same time under the driving condition of 80mA forward current applied to the gain section and 2.74V reverse bias applied to the SA section. In folder fig.5, six data files are three-column .DAT type of optical pulse-width measurement by using an autocorrelator. This file includes time (left column, unit in ps) vs. optical signal intensity (middle column, arbitrary unit), and a Sech2 fit of optical signal intensity shown in the right column with arbitrary unit. The file name "1.06 V AC Trace", "1.41 V AC Trace", "1.76 V AC Trace", "2.16 V AC Trace", "2.46 V AC Trace", "2.74 V AC Trace" indicates pulse-width was measured with a SA reverse bias at 1.06V, 1.41V, 1.76V, 2.16V, 2.46V and 2.74V respectively, and the gain current was fixed to 80mA. The corresponding lasing spectrum data is shown in the file with the name "W0002", "W0003", "W0004", "W0006", "W0007" and "W0008". These files are two-column .CSV type of lasing spectrum measurement by using an optical spectrometer. This file includes wavelength (left column, unit in nm) vs. light intensity (right column, unit in dBm). TBP value is the product of the pulsed-width and the 3dB bandwidth of lasing spectrum. In folder fig.6, three data files are three-column .DAT type of optical pulse-width measurement by using an autocorrelator. This file includes time (left column, unit in ps) vs. optical signal intensity (middle column, arbitrary unit), and a Sech2 fit of optical signal intensity shown in the right column with arbitrary unit. The file name "75mA AC Trace", "80mA AC Trace" and "85mA AC Trace" indicates pulse-width was measured with a gain current at 75mA, 80mA and 85mA respectively, and the SA reverse bias was fixed to 1.85V. The corresponding lasing spectrum data is shown in the file with the name "75mA", "80mA" and "85mA". These files are two-column .CSV type of lasing spectrum measurement by using an optical spectrometer. This file includes wavelength (left column, unit in nm) vs. light intensity (right column, unit in dBm). TBP value is the product of pulsed-width and 3dB bandwidth of lasing spectrum. |

| Impact | The development of a thin bonding oxide in 200mm was successfully achieved by CEA-Leti. It required the fabrication of complex silicon photonic circuits. The quality of the bonding oxide was qualified through wafer bonding of 200-mm SOI wafer and die bonding of III-V substrates. A new MOVPE reactor has been installed at III-V Lab at the beginning of the project. Qualification and calibration campaigns have been carried out in order to control key parameters for the growth of inverted laser structures. High crystalline quality of III-V has been achieved onto 3-inch wafers for C-band lasers (6 in-spec wfers). The same laser structure was grown onto 2-inch wafers. The control of growth conditions allowed to deliver a new batch of nine C-band laser structures onto 3-inch wafers. O-band laser/modulator and photodiode stacks were successfully developed for die bonding. The fabrication of the 1st mask set ‘’PIC-A’’ on 200 mm wafers flow involved 11 levels using both 248nm and 193nm DUV lithography, as well as e-beam lithography. An unprecedented process flow was specifically developed for the patterning of the two faces of SOI wafers by CEA-Leti. Both hybrid III-V/Si MOSCAP modulator-based PIC design and Si-based capacitive modulator designs have been achieved by III-V Lab and Southampton University respectively. A first-generation hybrid III-V/Si building blocks was designed including SOAs, lasers, photodiodes, and MOSCAP modulators by III-V Lab. Demonstration PICs have been implemented on the same mask layout, taking into account the packaging constraints (Argotech and Tyndall). SOI fabrication being achieved, the III-V mask layouts are ready for backend processing. As for Si-based capacitive modulators, 30Gb/s operation has been demonstrated and a new design was achieved. Fabrication is under way. An effort was made in this new design, to make the Silicon MOSCAP modulators compatible with packaging, mitigating the risk of delivery of hybrid III-V/Si PIC and ensures PIC chipset delivery for demo PIC packaging. 2nd generation demo PICs are also designed taking into account the flip-chipping of the EIC and the new packaging constraints including QD lasers (DFB and FP lasers) and SAG DFB lasers /modulators both grown on templates. The growth of InP/InGaAs on 4-inch InP substrate was investigated by AFM and met the roughness specification for bonding in terms at III-V Lab: bonding process was successful. The regrowth of MQW on InP-on-SOI was done and were compared to reference on InP. The III-V heterostructure was characterized by XRD, PL and AFM. The growth and optimization of high-density InAs QDs with high photoluminescence intensity (essential for DFB lasers) has been achieved by UCL. Under optimal growth conditions, high-quality InAs/GaAs QDs have been demonstrated with a density of 5E10 cm-2, strong RT-PL and a narrow linewidth of <30 meV. Initial laser results are very promising. SAG masks design has been carried out for the InP on SOI templates. A fabrication process has been developed for dielectric masks. Templates were successfully patterned, enabling a wavelength emission range > 100 nm. Report on the specifications of the building blocks and the complete PICs has been delivered by Nokia-Bell Labs. Mask layout for the 1st run SOI was delivered and fabrication of PIC-A SOI and III-V wafer deliveries were carried out. Mask layout for III-V back end processing was also achieved. This 1st run layout contains demonstration PICs. 2nd generation PICs are being designed, compatible with EIC flip-chipping. The design specifications for the 60GBd TIA and driver has been defined. 1st generation TIA and driver test samples are available and have been delivered for assembly assessment. 2nd generation TIA has been designed and successfully taped-out. Design rules for the PICs have been completed allowing the completion of the layouts. A packaging concept has been completed including the electrical, optical, thermal and mecha |
