Our vision is to establish the UK as the primary global research and manufacturing hub for Compound Semiconductor (CS) Technologies, expanding and extending the CS Cluster that our previous EPSRC Manufacturing Hub initiated. The CS Hub will create and expand UK wide excellence and impact in CS by delivering a scientific lead, developing sustainable processes and combining and connecting UK research excellence with the best translational facilities. We will work with companies and centres of excellence across the UK to support the whole UK CS industry and industry users of CSs. The combined activity will provide a path from enabling fundamental research through wafer, device and integrated chip manufacturing research into prototyping, reliability testing and system qualification at the CS Catapult and partner companies; to create the most innovative products and the most sustainable manufacturing processes.
The South Wales Compound Semiconductor PBIAA is spearheaded by Cardiff University in partnership with Swansea University, collaborating closely with both industry and public sector stakeholders within the South Wales compound semiconductor cluster.
SWCS PBIAA leverages unique regional expertise, translational research infrastructure and critical manufacturing capabilities as innovation assets – these include Cardiff University Institute for Compound Semiconductors (ICS) and Swansea University Centre for Integrated Semiconductor Manufacture (CISM). Its goal is to significantly accelerate the growth of ‘CSconnected’ by drawing in compound semiconductor academics and researchers from across the UK to establish their work and innovate in South Wales.
The Compound Semiconductor Centre is Europe’s new home for product, services and skills development in compound semiconductor technologies. Providing cutting-edge facilities that help researchers and industry work together CSC, based in Wales, will position Cardiff as the UK and European leader in compound semiconductors. CSC is a joint venture between compound semiconductor specialists IQE and Cardiff University.
CSC will be Europe’s first prototyping facility allowing businesses and academics to demonstrate new technologies based on compound semiconductor materials that will be production ready – allowing rapid routes to market for entrepreneurs and technology leaders. It will also facilitate a wide range of training and skills development to support a growing infrastructure around compound semiconductor based technologies.
Exhibitors
Plasma Technology plays a crucial role in the manufacture of compound semiconductor devices in key markets like quantum, power devices, augmented reality and datacom. We supply conventional plasma etch and deposition, and atomic layer etch and deposition for manufacturing advanced semiconductor devices. Our innovative technology solutions are at the forefront of material engineering and interface optimization, and are used to produce high yielding, high efficiency and high reliability devices. Our service and product range includes research and development systems right through to fully clusterable, robust and high up-time production systems designed for high-volume manufacturing.
SiSTEM Technology is a highly regarded sales, distribution and after-sales/service solutions company, supplying a comprehensive range of manufacturing equipment from lab to fab, for mainly the semiconductor sector, but also for nanotechnology, biotechnology, and many other precision manufacturing/production industries.
The Institute for Compound Semiconductors (ICS) has established a world-class compound semiconductor research and small scale manufacturing facility. Available to all on an Open Access basis, the ICS provides a platform for fabrication on wafers up to 200mm in diameter where researchers and industry can work together to progress academic research to a point where it can be translated reliably and quickly into the production environment. Part of Cardiff University, the ICS aims to be the UK facility of choice with worldwide recognition for stimulating, facilitating and enabling CS research. https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/institute-compound-semiconductors/about-us
The ICS is a founding member of CSconnected https://csconnected.com/
