IQE's Wafer Technology division launches new 4" GaSb product range
(Thomson Reuters ONE) - Milton Keynes, UK. February 2010:IQE plc (AIM: IQE, "IQE" or the "Group"), theleading global supplier of advanced semiconductor wafer products and waferservices to the semiconductor industry, is pleased to announce that its UK basedwafer operation, Wafer Technology Ltd., is to extend its gallium antimonide(GaSb) product range to include 4" diameter wafers.GaSb materials are used in the manufacture of a wide range of products includinginfrared laser diodes, detectors and thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells that canconvert infrared (heat) energy into electrical power.4" GaSb-Te wafers are now available and can be specified in the same way as forexisting 2" and 3" GaSb products. High accuracy orientations (+/-0.1 deg.) andproprietary epitaxy ready finishes are offered to ensure consistent performancein epitaxial growth. Whole 4" wafer etch pit density (EPD) maps (69 points) aresupplied to support yield maximisation in the manufacture of large area detectorarrays.The new product offering will be produced at the Group's Wafer Technologyfacility in Milton Keynes, UK.Dr. Mark J. Furlong, General Manager at Wafer Technology, commented:"Delivering 4" GaSb product is an important milestone for Wafer Technology,especially at a time when the industry is looking to produce larger areaepitaxially grown arrays."Our 4" GaSb wafers have been very well received by our first customersqualifying this product, so we are looking forward to satisfying new demands forlarge area GaSb wafers in 2010."Contacts:IQE plc (+44 29 2083 9400)Chris MeadowsWafer Technology Limited (+ 44 1908 210 444)Dr Mark FurlongAbout IQEIQE is the leading global supplier of advanced semiconductor wafers withproducts that cover a diverse range of applications, supported by an innovativeoutsourced foundry services portfolio that allows the Group to provide a 'onestop shop' for the wafer needs of the world's leading semiconductormanufacturers.IQE uses advanced crystal growth technology (epitaxy) to manufacture and supplybespoke semiconductor wafers ('epi-wafers') to the major chip manufacturingcompanies, who then use these wafers to make the chips which form the keycomponents of virtually all high technology systems.
