About CSC

Application-led novel compound semiconductor material prototyping for scale-up and commercialisation

The CSC is co-located with its parent company IQE and its aim is to prototype new material technologies with a pathway to scaling up for volume manufacture.

Enabling critical technologies of the future

Efficient power management & low power consumption

Gallium nitride (GaN), with a wide bandgap, offers improved current handling, power density and faster switching. With increased demand for data, GaAs VCSELs offer fast optical switching with lower power consumption for power hungry data centres.
