IQE demonstrates progress on its strategic commitment to
diversify into GaN technologies for MicroLED
-- Launch of new portfolio of 200mm (8") RGB Epitaxy for MicroLED Display Qualification
IQE plc (AIM: IQE, "IQE" or the "Group"), the leading supplier
of compound semiconductor wafer products and advanced material
solutions to the global semiconductor industry , is pleased to
announce the launch of a new portfolio of 200mm (8") Red, Green and
Blue ("RGB") epitaxial wafer products for microLED display
qualification.
MicroLEDs based upon gallium nitride (GaN) and gallium arsenide
(GaAs) semiconductors are a disruptive new display technology which
is being designed into multiple new platforms such as wearables,
augmented and virtual reality headsets and large format
displays.
IQE's GaN and GaAs epitaxy is critical in enabling faster
adoption of microLEDs. This is because IQE's leading technology,
high-volume manufacturing platforms and resulting scale provides
our customers with a commercial advantage.
The launch of IQE's differentiated microLED wafer products will
provide customers with faster time-to-market options for display
level qualification. IQE is delivering qualified foundry capacity
from its international operations, which is a significant point of
difference as it provides customers with epitaxy supply chain
diversification. By scaling the technology roadmap from 200mm (8")
to 300mm (12"), IQE will provide the industry with a cost-effective
solution.
Dr. Mark J, Furlong, Executive Vice President of Business
Development of IQE commented:
"We are pleased to offer our customers the industry's broadest
range of materials technology platforms for microLED display
qualification. We recognise that IQE can play a critical role in
accelerating the deployment of microLEDs across many end
applications and the launch of this new portfolio is in line with
our strategy to diversify into GaN technologies, in the high-growth
display market."
