Breaking the InP Bottleneck

White Paper | September 2026

Published by Vital Materials

As AI infrastructure advances toward 1.6T and 3.2T optical connectivity, growing demand for indium phosphide (InP) lasers and photonic devices is placing increasing pressure on qualified substrate and epitaxial wafer capacity.

This white paper examines the structural challenges facing the InP supply chain and explores how vertical integration, from raw materials and substrates through epitaxy, laser fabrication, and optical transceivers, can improve supply assurance, manufacturing efficiency, and scalability for next-generation AI data centers.

JOURNAL OF PHYSICS: CONDENSED MATTER | 2024

Thermopower and Resistivity of the Topological Insulator Bi₂Te₃ in the Amorphous and Crystalline Phase

Authors: E. Osmic, J. Barzola Quiquia, S. Winnerl, W. Böhlmann, P. Häussler

This peer-reviewed study examines temperature-dependent thermopower and resistivity in Bi2Te3 topological insulator thin films across amorphous and crystalline phases. The results validate phase-dependent transport behavior and surface state contributions relevant to advanced thin film and quantum material platforms.
