MEMSCAP Consolidates Grenoble Industry
MEMSCAP has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Grenoble-based company Opsitech in France. The acquired company is a spin-off from the French "Laboratoire d'Electronique et des Technologies de l'Information (LETI)" of the "Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA)". Opsitech specialises in integrated optics that can be associated with micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).

Opsitech specialises in integrated optics that can be associated with micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).
The deal would give MEMSCAP access to CEA-LETI intellectual property in silicon integrated optics technologies and team expertise specifically through a license and research and development agreement as a key element of the transaction.
MEMSCAP will acquire Opsitech for EUR3.75mn by issuing common shares to Opsitech shareholders, upon closing of the transaction. The acquisition is subject to customary approvals and review including the approval of MEMSCAP shareholders, review of the transaction by an independent appraiser (commissaire aux apports) and approval of the stock market regulatory authorities.
MEMSCAP also reported Q3 2003 results: sales of EUR1.9mn, comparing with EUR1.3mn in Q3 2002.
AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!
AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!
Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.
2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.
We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.
We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.
Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.
Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.
So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
