Ian Caldwell joins Vector Photonics

Caldwell appointed to fast-track PCSEL commercialisation
Vector Photonics has appointed Ian Caldwell as consultant programme manager, overseeing the company’s new product introduction (NPI) programme. Ian brings his extensive, industrial experience to the company, as it continues to commercialise its all-semiconductor PCSEL technology for data-centre and co-located optics markets.
Ian has an Honours Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Strathclyde and is a Chartered Member of the Institute of Engineering and Technology. In 2017, he worked as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) instructor at the Dumfries House Education Engineering Centre, part of ‘The Princes Foundation’ and home to many of HRH, The Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay’s, flagship education programmes. Here he developed and delivered workshops in local schools to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
