 PROFILE
Kopin's semiconductor wafers are bipolar and hetero. The company makes specialized gallium arsenide (GaAs, an alternative to silicon) wafers with heterojunction bipolar transistors engineered onto the surface vertically (horizontal is the industry norm). Companies such as Conexant (about 45% of sales; formerly Rockwell's chip unit), Mitsubishi, and Siemens use the pricier but smaller and faster vertically engineered GaAs wafers to manufacture ICs for telecom and networking products. Kopin also makes the tiny CyberDisplay brand of LCDs used by Motorola and others in digital phones, pagers, and video cameras. Kopin owns 65% of South Korean GaAs optoelectronics maker Kowon Technology.
