🌟 News from our team in Milton Keynes🌟   We’re thrilled to announce our participation in the Onshoring and Scaling Up of 3C-SiC Substrates for Cubic GaN MicroLEDs project, proudly supported by Innovate UK.   This collaborative effort brings together Wafer Technology Ltd (an IQE Company), Kubos Semiconductors Ltd, ADVANCED EPI MATERIALS AND DEVICES LTD to establish a UK-based supply chain for producing high-quality 3C-SiC substrates, critical for advancing microLED technology, powering next-generation displays.   Our specific role is to develop advanced chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) techniques for 150 mm and 200 mm 3C-SiC wafers. This innovation is critical for ensuring the substrates meet the highest standards of quality and performance. Together with our project partners, we’re working towards strengthening the UK’s position in the global semiconductor supply chain, fostering innovation and enabling groundbreaking technologies.   ⬇️ Learn more about this transformative initiative in the comments below:  #semiconductor #SiC #GaN #microLED #UKSemiconductor #compoundsemiconductor

We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Quintessent Inc. to establish the world’s first large-scale quantum dot laser (QDL) and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) epitaxial wafer supply chain. 🌐 The rapid growth of AI is pushing today’s infrastructure to its limits. Optical interconnects, the backbone of AI compute systems face challenges with scalability, reliability, and performance, creating a need for high-bandwidth, low-latency, and energy-efficient optical interconnects. 🔬 Our decade-long collaboration with Quintessent Inc. has been key in transitioning QDL technology from research to commercialization, to make the technology a key enabler for solving performance and reliability challenges in the AI era. 📱 Through our partnership, we are now ensuring this technology can be manufactured at scale to support the growth of accelerated computing infrastructure. ⬇️ Full announcement in the comments below:

Today, we issued a trading update, and we're pleased to share that our business performance in 2024 is expected to exceed expectations, with both revenue and adjusted EBITA coming in ahead of forecast. This is particularly notable given the ongoing macroeconomic headwinds. In recent months, we've focused on enhancing our core strengths, improving operational performances, and advancing our strategic priorities.
