Working with industry

The ICS was a founding member and key partner in the development of CSconnected the first compound semiconductor cluster in Europe.

We aim to provide the small to medium scale fabrication capacity to complement activity at other cluster partners, with the expertise and capability to translate academic excellence through to practical, manufacturable devices and integrated subsystems with the ultimate aim of generating economic impact through commercial and academic exploitation of compound semiconductor technologies.

Through our existence and actions we play a major role in the CSconnected cluster, supporting and promoting academic excellence in Compound Semiconductors, underpinning the development of the new companies and industrial processes and facilitating the supply of highly skilled people to support the development of the cluster.
