Riber operates in a specific domain: we are experts in Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), a technique which is used to grow compound semiconductors, and we provide Innovative Solutions for Semiconductor Industry.
Compound semiconductors are all around us: III-V, II-VI, nitrides, advanced oxides and others, generate true revolutions in several industrial and consumer fields like micro- and power electronics, lasers, detectors, solar or displays.
Boosted by the Internet of Things and cloud’s use, they are extensively used in datacenters, to process information at the speed of light, with photonics devices.
Also in the photonics field, medical applications benefit from the rise of compound semiconductors : medical sensing or fine surgery experience innovative practices with newly available lasers, such as in the industry, where they are core components for metal cutting machines.
Widely used in defense and security applications, for communications, optical detectors, gas sensing, and tomorrow, quantum computing, the future of compound semiconductors is promising, not only for industrial fields.
Step by step, they are also changing our everyday life: embedded in our smart vehicles, with LIDAR sensors, in our screens, with high efficiency microLEDs or virtual reality devices, or in our smartphones. They make 3D sensing and face recognition possible, thanks to new VCSELs generation, they push broadband communication towards 5G and 6G thanks to high speed radiofrequency (RF) components.
