Integrated Compound Semiconductors (ICS) is a Manchester based SME specialising in thedevelopment of advanced component solutions for microwave and optical equipment markets.The company combines skills in opto-electronic materials and high speed RF circuit design,and has IP related to the monolithic integration of optoelectronic and RF components on asingle semiconductor chip solution.The demand for high speed, high quality, broadband access to the home and office via fibreoptic networks is driving market demand for high transmission rate optical components. ICSsees a huge opportunity in providing optical detectors for the next generation networks whichrequire 10Gb/s performance at commodity pricing.This market study will investigate the cost versus performance trade-offs in the design andmanufacturing of such components, with a particular focus on a mid term opportunity forcomponents which enable the backhaul interface transceivers between 4G mobile and thelocal fibre optic network. The study will examine both technical requirements for emergingproducts and commercial considerations such as component pricing, barriers to entry andmarket introduction strategies.
