III-V Epi exhibiting at Photonics West 2026
III–V Epi Ltd of Glasgow, Scotland, UK — which provides a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) service for custom compound semiconductor wafer design, manufacturing, test and characterization — is showcasing its specialist, low-volume, fast-turnaround, III-V epitaxy manufacturing services in booth 4923 at SPIE Photonics West 2026 in San Francisco, CA, USA (20–22 January).
III-V Epi says that its focus on speed to market; specialist knowledge of MBE and MOCVD manufacturing processes; and expertise in both gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) material systems makes it the ideal supply partner for a wide range of commercial and academic projects. It serves a variety of high-growth semiconductor and photonics markets, where manufacturing speed is key, but high consumer volumes are not required. Chief technical officer professor Richard Hogg is available at Photonics West to discuss projects, applications and answer questions.
“III-V Epi expedites manufacture of MBE and MOCVD epitaxial structures for semiconductor and photonics devices with more moderate production volume needs,” says director Calum McGregor. “This includes markets, such as defence, security and evolving quantum technologies where, despite their often-critical nature, the need for small and medium volumes makes their production a low priority for suppliers absorbed in high-volume, consumer markets. III-V Epi services include specialist design, test, metrology and characterization; also an essential part of bringing innovative, collaborative photonics projects and devices to market quickly and efficiently,” he adds.
“III-V Epi also provides invaluable expertise in both GaAs and InP material systems, using MBE and MOCVD manufacturing processes,” McGregor continues. “Many new and emerging computing, communications, space, fintech, healthcare, and defence markets favour GaAs for manufacturing flexibility, where we have valuable know-how. We also have extensive InP experience, widely used in datacoms, telecoms, AI and HPC.”
