Who we are
IQE Silicon is Europe's most advanced and largest independent provider of epitaxial services to the silicon semiconductor market. It is a wholly owned division of IQE plc - a company with over 20 years experience as world leaders in custom epitaxy.
Perfection is our Goal
Outsourcing the manufacture of epitaxial wafers is a
fundamental business strategy for a growing number of
semiconductor device manufacturers who recognise the key
advantages of matching supply to demand, increasing return
on investment, reducing the risk of idle internal capacity,
reducing capital spend, achieving faster time-to-market and
providing access to advanced epi technologies.
The epitaxy process is one of the most critical and
demanding steps in the manufacturing chain. As the demand
grows for improved delivery, quality, service and cost, so
to does the need for silicon epi-wafer services.
'Perfection' at servicing our customers needs is IQE's Goal.
Unbeatable value
Our aim is always to maximise the value we provide our customers. Whether it is basic services or advanced epitaxial applications, the customer always comes first at IQE Silicon.
Future developments
Embracing new and advanced materials technology is the way for Moore’s Law to continue to hold true. As demand for computer processing power continues to increase, the same drivers appear as for RF components for mobile devicesbr>
IQE has a number of customer driven and funded R&D programmes for next generation microprocessors and potential terabyte storage products
Advanced silicon and III-V materials hold the promise to become technology of choice if they can leverage both manufacturing and design infrastructure”
