As III-V compound semiconductor become widely utilized for advanced electronics/optoelectronics, as well as everyday applications, production Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) has become an essential manufacturing tool for producing volume, high quality, epitaxy materials. At IntelliEPI, we provide production MBE foundry services for the commercial and defense epitaxial wafer markets. Antimonide-based optical materials address the infrared bands from extended SWIR through VLWIR (2 um to 15 um), with device structures ranging from Type I quantum well lasers to Type-II strained layer superlattice (SLS) based detectors. The Type II SLS is a high-performance lower-cost alternative to Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) for IR focal plane array (FPA) applications. Production scale growth of SLS materials presents a new set of challenges associated with volume material manufacturing and requires innovative solutions for consistency of material output. At IntelliEPI, our manufacturing capabilities include the ability to produce epi-ready GaSb substrate from crystal boule pulling to wafer polishing, and to grow SLS epi wafer on multi-wafer production MBE platforms.
Everett Fraser is currently serving as Senior MBE Scientist at Intelligent Epitaxy Technology, Inc. (IntelliEPI) in Richardson, TX. Everett joined IntelliEPI in May 2011, and has since been serving as MBE growth scientist for Sb-materials under DoD contracts including the NVESD-VISTA and MDA-FastFPA programs to develop Sb-based Type-II strained layer superlattice photodetectors. He has served as principal investigator for several completed and ongoing SBIR/STTR programs for the Air Force, Army and Navy. Dr. Fraser received his Ph.D. in Physics from SUNY, University at Buffalo in 2010, and his BS in Physics from SUNY, University at Albany in 2004.
