IQE announces the world's first commercially available 200 mm
(8") VCSEL wafer
-- Enables the expansion of the 3D sensing market beyond the smartphone
-- Based on IQE's patented 200mm technology for Wireless and
Photonics compound semiconductor applications
IQE plc (AIM: IQE, "IQE" or the "Group"), the leading supplier
of compound semiconductor wafer products and advanced material
solutions to the global semiconductor industry, is pleased to
announce the world's first commercially available 200 mm (8") VCSEL
epiwafer.
IQE is leading the compound semiconductor industry in the
development of 200mm epiwafers for wireless, sensing and display
markets.
IQE's 200mm epiwafers will enable a step-change in unit
economics for compound semiconductors, leading to the expansion of
the market for IQE. The increase in wafer size will expand to new
foundry partnerships, including Silicon-based foundries.
Furthermore, it enables the integration of compound semiconductors
on silicon, allowing adoption across a wider range of devices and
applications.
IQE's 200mm VCSEL development is an example of the Company's
continued innovation with the aim of expanding the market for
wireless and 3D Sensing. 3D Sensing was made economical within
premium smartphones in 2017 when IQE developed and scaled VCSEL
epiwafers from 100mm to 150mm. The introduction of 200mm creates
opportunities beyond the smartphone, into a broad range of
intelligent connected devices and also enabling applications in the
Metaverse.
Americo Lemos, Chief Executive Officer of IQE, commented:
"This is a critical milestone and establishes IQE as the global
leader in scaling compound semiconductor technology to larger
diameters. As we set out in our FY21 Results in March, a key focus
area is growing our business by extending our roadmap to 200mm to
establish new foundry partnerships. This advancement will expand
the market for both Wireless and Photonics applications and service
the growing demand for compound semiconductors as macro trends such
as 5G and the Metaverse proliferate and capture more value for our
technology."
