Soitec partners IntelliEPI to provide reliable second source in GaAs market
IntelliEPI is a leader in providing indium phosphide (InP), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and gallium antimonide (GaSb) epitaxial wafers to the electronics and optoelectronics industries.
The partnership aims at addressing the market requirements for a reliable second source, while also extending the leadership position of both companies in the GaAs market as well as delivering the best product at the lowest cost for the customers. The agreement includes a technology license granted by Soitec to IntelliEPI, which may be extended to address future business opportunities in the GaAs market, including equipment transfer.
"We are delighted to announce the license of our technology leading to a second source for our products for our key GaAs customers," said Bernard Aspar, Senior Vice President and Soitec’s Communication & Power Business Unit General Manager.
"This collaborative agreement will reinforce our GaAs technology and product know-how while, at the same time, offering Soitec’s customers supply-chain security," said Yung-Chung Kao, IntelliEPI President and CEO.
Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is a III-V semiconductor used in the manufacture of devices such as microwave frequency integrated circuits, monolithic microwave integrated circuits, infrared light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, solar cells and optical windows. GaAs is often used as a substrate material for the epitaxial growth of other III-V semiconductors including InGaAs and GaInNAs.
