III-V Epi celebrates fifth anniversary
As it celebrates its fifth birthday, III–V Epi Ltd of Glasgow, Scotland, UK — which provides a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) service for custom compound semiconductor wafer design, manufacturing, test and characterization — says that it has demonstrated consistent growth, establishing its reputation as a trusted supplier of III-V epitaxial structures through MBE and MOCVD.
III-V Epi says it is committed to fast turnaround times and low- to medium-volume production across a range of material systems, uniquely making it a supply partner for devices and services spanning high-growth markets including AI, telecoms, datacoms, additive manufacturing, LiDAR, and sensing.
More than two-thirds of its revenue now comes from industrial projects with ongoing supply requirements, while the remainder is from start-up companies and academic projects, often at the forefront of technical advances in the photonics industry.
“Industrial projects with ongoing supply needs have been core to III-V Epi’s growth and success,” notes director Calum McGregor. “The specification of the epitaxy layers in a wafer structure is the customer’s intellectual property. III-V Epi’s expertise is in fabrication know-how, ensuring fast turnaround and reduced development costs. This makes it an essential partner for photonics manufacturing and development within the quantum supply chain and various emerging, high-growth markets. In addition, we work with start-up companies and on academic projects which keep us at the forefront of III-V epitaxial structure design and development.”
