GCS forms alliance with Plextek

Wafer foundry company GCS has formed an alliance with Plextek - a consultancy with experience in compound semiconductor IC design.
Global Communication Semiconductors (GCS) has formed a strategic alliance with Plextek, a design-based consultancy located in Great Chesterford, UK. Under the alliance, GCS will become a foundry partner for Plextek to provide its customers with compound semiconductor foundry services, while Plextek will assist GCS as the company s UK design resource for IC design services.

GCS and Plextek will offer complementary services to those customers requiring assistance in either design and/or fabrication of compound semiconductor ICs.

"In this dynamic economic climate we continue to see the disintegration of the traditional integrated device manufacturer, which has given birth to businesses that specialize and reduce the total costs to bring ICs to market," said Owen Wu, founder and chief strategy officer at GCS. "With the availability of state-of-the-art III-V compound semiconductor foundry services provided by GCS, coupled with Plextek s design consultancy expertise, fabless companies can move quickly and cost effectively to address the expanding wireless and high-speed telecommunications markets."

"We re very pleased to be working with GCS,” said Liam Devlin, Plextek s director of RF Integration. “GCS’ InGaP and InP HBT processes can offer significant advantages for the realization of power amplifiers, low phase noise oscillators and broadband DC coupled amplifiers."
