Compound Semiconductors

In an increasingly miniaturised world, Microchip's Advanced Packaging Services aim to make microelectronic products smaller, smarter, and more reliable.

Wrexham Glyndŵr University isn’t just building a bridge between academia and industry - it’s laying down a superhighway. Its state-of-the-art OpTIC Technology Centre in St Asaph has created a hi-tech home for start-ups in North Wales.

SPTS designs and manufactures the wafer processing equipment used by major players in the global semiconductor industry — and the company has built up strong links with Welsh universities to aid both research and recruitment.

IQE is the leading global supplier of the atomically engineered wafers that are made into advanced semiconductors.

MicroLink Devices UK are part of an elite group of Wales-based companies and academics who are harnessing the power of the one of the world’s most important emerging technologies: compound semiconductors.

Wales harmonizes support for power device and sensor technology

The world’s first compound semiconductor cluster is taking shape in South Wales.

Compound semiconductors are much more complex than long established Silicon technology. Our highly integrated Wales cluster will guide you from concept to production - whether you're an SME or a global, household name, we'll support you when designing new material through to manufacturing.

Silicon semiconductors formed the basis of the technological revolution. They sit at the heart of microprocessor chips, enabling computers and wireless communications.

The worldwide market for compound semiconductors (CS) is valued at $66bn.
