Semiconductor wafers provider IQE (LON:IQE) is setting up IQE Infrared, a new division to provide customers with a one stop shop solution.

The division will provide customers with infrared substrate and epitaxial wafer materials covering short to very long wavelength (SWIR to VLWIR) regimes.

It will bring together similar product groups from across IQE's multiple operations to provide a focus on infrared detector materials based on gallium and indium antimonide (GaSb and InSb) and indium phosphide (InP).

Dr Mark Furlong, currently general manager of IQE’s substrate divisions, will be boss of the new division.

Dr Furlong said: "The opportunity to establish a new business unit with an exclusive focus on infrared materials will give IQE better opportunities to combine its substrate and epitaxial wafer products for serving a broader range of customers and even broader range of infrared device applications."
