III-V Epi celebrates fifth birthday

News
UK company boasts consistent growth with more than two-thirds of its revenue coming from industrial projects

As III-V Epi celebrates its fifth birthday, the UK-based company says it has demonstrated consistent growth, establishing its reputation as a trusted supplier of III-V epitaxial structures through MBE and MOCVD.

Formed by UK industry veterans from Gas Sensing Solutions, quantum tech hub Quantic, and the University of Glasgow, the Scotland-based company provides a myriad wafer foundry services that rely on MBE and MOCVD to commercial firms and research organisations around the world.

Today more than two-thirds of its revenue comes from industrial projects with ongoing supply requirements, while the remainder is from start-up companies and academic projects, often at the forefront of technical advancements in the photonics industry.

The focus is on fast turnaround times and low to medium volume production across a range of material systems. This, says III-V Epi, is a unique value proposition in the industry, allowing it to partner with companies developing devices and services for high-growth markets, including AI, telecommunications, data communications, additive manufacturing, LiDAR, and sensing.

Calum McGregor (pictured above), director of III-V Epi, said: “Industrial projects with ongoing supply needs have been core to III-V Epi’s growth and success, as the company turns five years old. The specification of the epitaxy layers in a wafer structure is the customer’s intellectual property."

He continued: "III-V Epi’s expertise is in fabrication know-how, ensuring fast turnaround and reduced development costs. This makes it an essential partner for photonics manufacturing and development within the quantum supply chain and various, emerging, high-growth markets. In addition, we work with start-up companies and on academic projects which keep us at the forefront of III-V epitaxial structure design and development.”
