Device applications of semi-insulating III-V materials: the changing demand

Abstract

This paper considers the substantial progress made in III-V device applications, and offers a retrospective over the life of this conference. It considers the changing priorities, key lessons, and major advances that have brought S-I GaAs to market maturity, and S-I InP to the brink of commercialization. The discussion ranges from electronic and optical devices to examples of system applications, and how they affect the focus of the materials community.
