Compound Semiconductor (CS) materials are a Key Enabling Technology at the heart of modern society and are vital for the development of new technologies including: 5G; Energy efficient lighting; Smart devices; Electric vehicles; Imaging techniques.

Our vision is to establish the UK as the primary global research and manufacturing Hub for CS technologies. The CS Hub will support and promote CS research and systems research in all associated fields; apply the manufacturing disciplines and approaches used with Silicon semiconductors; combine CSs with Silicon; and facilitate the required increase in CS manufacture.
