The National Epitaxy Facility is dedicated to providing the UK compound semiconductor research community with high quality, innovative semiconductor products and services on behalf of the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). To meet our strategic and operational objectives, we employ a Quality Management System (QMS), which is focussed on customer’s needs and expectations.

Regular reviews, the analysis of performance targets and a commitment to continual improvement, ensures the QMS is relevant and supports the organisation’s continuation as a supplier of world-class epitaxy materials.

Here is what some of our users recently said about us:

“The NEF team were very responsive and provided excellent expert advice and support, as always. The quantum wells were of very high quality with narrow exciton linewidth and homogeneous across the wafer.” Dr Paul Walker, University of Sheffield

“Communications were always timely and useful. On the “responsiveness to innovation”, the addition of Te “exceeds expectations”. This is particularly important from the perspective of scaling towards industry, with IQE plc. now offering highly doped Te as standard for n-type.” Professor Louise Hirst, University of Cambridge
