Compound semiconductors (CS) are a vital part of our modern ‘connected’ world, as an enabling technology found in everything from smartphones, TVs and satellites to LEDs, lasers and solar panels. Cardiff University’s ERDF-funded Institute for Compound Semiconductors (ICS) offers commercial and academic researchers an avenue to pursue research, as well as product development and testing, without the huge upfront financial investment that would be required to purchase the necessary specialised equipment for such endeavours. The Institute is staffed by experienced process engineers and offers access to a wide range of equipment and services.
