IQE one stop shop
Last month, wafer producer IQE announced the purchase of Kopin’s compound semiconductor
epiwafer manufacturing business (Kopin Wireless) placing them in a dominant
position in the market. The company can now just as easily perform MOCVD
processes as it can MBE, supplying the most appropriate wafer for whatever
device. The acquisition gives the Cardiff based company a market leading
position in MOCVD HBTs; a wider customer base (including Skyworks Solutions, Inc.)
and a Taiwan manufacturing facility providing increased access the growing
Asian semiconductor market. IQE will pay $75 million for Kopin Wireless.
