This update on crystal growth of bulk InP covers recent activities in the United States. A program combining theoretical modeling with experimental research and industrial manufacturing has culminated in the design and fabrication of a new generation crystal growth furnace. The new technology has the capability to produce large 100 mm diameter InP crystals by in-situ synthesis and growth. The dual functions of the new system are now being commercially exploited to supply future telecommunications needs in the US.
