III-V Epi addresses demand for short lead times

Low to medium volume approach shrinks lead-times for MBE and MOCVD, III-V, epitaxial structures, and overgrowth services

UK-based III-V Epi is providing a fast turnaround service for custom, compound semiconductor wafer design, manufacturing, test, and characterisation.
By focusing on low to medium volume manufacture, the company says it has been able to provide MBE and MOCVD, III-V, epitaxial structures, and overgrowth services with shorter lead times than the industry standard.
Calum McGregor, director of III-V Epi, said: “III-V Epi has helped many customers bring new, compound semiconductor products to market quickly, with its reduced lead time manufacture. This has been achieved by using two key strategies. Firstly, by specialising in medium to low volume supply, we have been able to separate ourselves from the volume part of the industry, dominated by consumer product giants swallowing up the world’s production capacity. Secondly, we have removed potential NPI bottlenecks for customers by offering expertise in every part of the process, from wafer design, product development and process optimisation through to a complete range of test, metrology, and characterisation services.”
III-V Epi says itsunique approach makes it the ideal supply partner for companies requiring low volume supply, such as universities, start-ups, and smaller scale industrial businesses. III-V Epi already supplies devices for communications, telecoms, quantum technology, defence, security, automotive, agriculture and additive manufacturing markets.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
