About us

29th January 2017

Compound semiconductors (CS) are at heart of the high-tech devices we use today, from smartphones and tablets to satellite communications and GPS. The advent of the internet, fibre-optic communication and the smartphone revolution have been fundamentally dependent on compound semiconductor technologies.

CS materials represent a Key Enabling Technology (“KET”) for the economic growth drivers identified by governments world-wide.

The United Kingdom Government and the devolved Welsh Assembly have identified the key role to be played by CS technologies and have demonstrated a commitment to nurture and encourage industrial and academic growth through significant investments in a number of activities directed at creating a regional cluster centred on CS expertise.

CS Fusion is the embodiment of the initiatives and activities that are pivotal in creating the world's first compound semiconductor cluster.
