Mission & Goals
Manufacturer of advanced compound semiconductor materials for micro-electronic and photonic devices; applications in telecomms, defence, space, automotive, energy efficiency, aerospace, industrial, consumer and health. IQE also offers materials solutions to customers for added-value within the supply-chain. IQE does NOT manufacture devices within the above application areas. IQE seeks to partner European organisations in R&D&I projects such as Horizon Europe/Chips JU, as examples, as well as Trans-National funded projects e.g. ERA-NETs, PENTA/Xecs/EUREKA/ESA and also in Nationally funded projects within the UK. IQE was also active in the first IPCEI (Important Project of Common European Interest) on Microelectronics and led Chapter/Technology Field 5 on Compound Materials/Semiconductors.
