IQE launches Germanium on Insulator (GeOI) wafers for high performance integrated circuits and devices
(Thomson Reuters ONE) - Cardiff, July 6th 2009: IQE, the leading global supplier of advancedsemiconductor wafer products and services to the semiconductorindustry, announces the launch of extremely high crystal qualitygermanium-on-insulator (GeOI) engineered substrates forhigh-performance devices.Engineers at IQE's Cardiff-based silicon epitaxy facility havedeveloped innovative new manufacturing techniques to overcomelong-standing challenges to produce GeOI material with extremely highcrystalline quality.The launch introduces production-ready Germanium on Insulator (GeOI)as the latest addition to IQE's broad portfolio of advanced waferproducts.The new engineered GeOI substrate offers extremely high crystalquality and is available now, allowing device designers to lookbeyond the performance constraints imposed by existing silicontechnologies.Ali Hoy, Sales and Business Development Manager for IQE's electronicsproducts said:"IQE already offers the broadest range of engineered wafer productsand this addition of high-mobility GeOI material for next-generationprocessor, memory, MEMs and solar applications, shows our commitmentto ensuring that our customers maintain their competitive advantagethrough rapid access to leading-edge technology solutions."GeOI development kits are available now in 4" (100mm) and 6" (150mm)diameter wafer sizes and the new addition to IQE's diverse productrange will be showcased at Semicon West, the semiconductor industry'spremier event, which will be held in San Francisco from 14th to 16thJuly 2009. 8" (200mm) wafers will be available later this year.VISIT IQE at SEMICON WEST, July 14-16: South Hall, Booth #1013Contacts:TECHNICAL/SALESIQE plc (+44 29 2083 7500, sales(at)iqesilicon.com)Ali HoyRob HarperPRESS / INVESTORSIQE plc (+44 29 2083 9400, investors(at)iqep.com)Chris MeadowsDrew NelsonNoble & Company Limited (+ 44 20 7763 2200)John Llewellyn-LloydSam ReynoldsCollege Hill (+44 20 7457 2020)Adrian DuffieldCarl FranklinNote to editors:IQE is the leading global supplier of advanced semiconductor waferswith products that cover a diverse range of applications, supportedby an innovative outsourced foundry services portfolio that allowsthe Group to provide a 'one stop shop' for the wafer needs of theworld's leading semiconductor manufacturers.IQE uses advanced crystal growth technology (epitaxy) to manufactureand supply bespoke semiconductor wafers ('epi-wafers') to the majorchip manufacturing companies, who then use these wafers to make thechips which form the key components of virtually all high technologysystems. IQE is unique in being able to supply wafers using all ofthe leading crystal growth technology platforms.IQE's products are found in many leading-edge consumer,communication, computing and industrial applications, including acomplete range of wafer products for the wireless industry, such asmobile handsets and wireless infrastructure, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, basestations, GPS, and satellite communications; optical communications,optical storage (CD, DVD), laser optical mouse, laser printers &photocopiers, thermal imagers, leading-edge medical products,barcode, ultra high brightness LEDs, a variety of advanced siliconbased systems and high efficiency concentrator photovoltaic (CPV)solar cells.The manufacturers of these chips are increasingly seeking tooutsource wafer production to specialist foundries such as IQE inorder to reduce overall wafer costs and accelerate time to market.IQE also provides bespoke R&D services to deliver customisedmaterials for specific applications and offers specialist technicalstaff to manufacture to specification either at its own facilities oron the customer's own sites. The Group is also able to leverage itsglobal purchasing volumes to reduce the cost of raw materials. Inthis way IQE's outsourced services, provide compelling benefits interms of flexibility and predictability of cost, therebysignificantly reducing operating risk.IQE operates six manufacturing facilities located in Cardiff (two)and Milton Keynes in the UK; in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Somerset,New Jersey in the USA; and Singapore. The Group also has 11 salesoffices located in major economic centres worldwide.This announcement was originally distributed by Hugin.
