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 a InAs nanowire APD on silicon-on-insulator substrate for a high speed and low-cost coherent optical communication system.
This project is funded by the Sêr Cymru II Fellowships programme for three years.
