IQE plc
 PROFILE
Want to boost your epitaxy IQ? IQE (International Quantum Epitaxy) makes compound semiconductors (from various elements, rather than from silicon alone) for customers whose advanced telecom chips are used in fiber optics, mobile phones, and other applications. IQE literally grows wafers layer by layer, in a process known as epitaxy. More expensive than silicon-based products, they work up to eight times faster and exhibit greater efficiency at detecting and emitting light, which makes them crucial in areas such as fiber-optic communications and laser surgery. Formed by the merger of Epitaxial Products International and Quantum Epitaxial Designs, IQE is one of the world's leading suppliers of epitaxial wafers.
