IQE plc : IQE presents five papers at Photonics West in San Francisco
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Cardiff, 25 January 2012 - IQE plc (AIM: IQE), the leading global supplier of
advanced semiconductor wafer products and services to the semiconductor
industry, this week presented a series of invited papers on recent key
developments in advanced photonic technologies at the world's premier
optoelectronics event, Photonics West.
The IQE Group established a strong presence at Photonics West with the
presentation of a number of invited papers based on developments and
commercialisation of advanced infrared materials:
1. Manufacturable MBE Growth Process for Sb-based Photodetector Materials on
Large Diameter Substrates" (Joint paper with ASL, Analytical)
2. Manufacturing of 100mm diameter GaSb substrates for advanced space based
applications (joint paper with Jet Propulsion Labs, USA)
3. Multiwafer production of epitaxy ready 4" GaSb substrates: requirements for
epitaxially grown infrared detectors
4. Surface chemistry improvement of 100mm GaSb for advanced space based
applications
5. Study of the valence band offsets between InAs and InAs1-xSbx alloys (joint
paper with Arizona State University)
Photonics West runs from 24 to 26 January at the Moscone Convention Center in
San Francisco and is expected to attract around 1,100 exhibitors and 19,000
visitors.

Note to Editors
IQE is the leading global supplier of advanced semiconductor wafers with
products that cover a diverse range of applications, supported by an innovative
outsourced foundry services portfolio that allows the Group to provide a 'one
stop shop' for the wafer needs of the world's leading semiconductor
manufacturers.
IQE uses advanced crystal growth technology (epitaxy) to manufacture and supply
bespoke semiconductor wafers ('epi-wafers') to the major chip manufacturing
companies, who then use these wafers to make the chips which form the key
components of virtually all high technology systems. IQE is unique in being able
to supply wafers using all of the leading crystal growth technology platforms.
IQE's products are found in many leading-edge consumer, communication, computing
and industrial applications, including a complete range of wafer products for
the wireless industry, such as mobile handsets and wireless infrastructure, Wi-
Fi, WiMAX, base stations, 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 silicon based systems and high
efficiency concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) solar cells.
The manufacturers of these chips are increasingly seeking to outsource wafer
production to specialist foundries such as IQE in order to reduce overall wafer
costs and accelerate time to market.
IQE also provides bespoke R&D services to deliver customised materials for
specific applications and offers specialist technical staff to manufacture to
specification either at its own facilities or on the customer's own sites. The
Group is also able to leverage its global purchasing volumes to reduce the cost
of raw materials. In this way IQE's outsourced services, provide compelling
benefits in terms of flexibility and predictability of cost, thereby
significantly reducing operating risk.
IQE comprises eight operating facilities located in Cardiff (two), Milton
Keynes and Bath in the UK; in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Somerset, New Jersey and
Spokane, Washington in the USA; and Singapore. The Group also has 11 sales
offices located in major economic centres worldwide.
