Pump Priming Call

Our Priming call is open, with a closing date of Tuesday 9th September. 

The Pump Priming scheme provides a limited number of wafers to researchers free of charge and without the need for a current EPSRC grant.

It is designed to stimulate UK strategic activity in Group III-V and Group IV semiconductors with the expectation that the recipient will write a full EPSRC proposal building on the results of the feasibility study.

Examples of some Pump Priming projects include Ultrafast multi-active region Quantum Dot lasers, InGaAs Quantum Dot/Quantum Well based waveguide structures for photonic integration and GeSn for photodetector applications.

Details on the application process are detailed on the diagram to the right. For more information please visit the Pump Priming page of our website.

We look forward to receiving your applications!
