**IQE and Tower Semiconductor Announce Multi-year InP epiwafer Supply Agreement** 

*- Supporting planned growth in InP silicon photonics technology*

*- Resolving all prior IP disputes between the companies*

 

**CARDIFF, UK, and MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, June 15 2026** - IQE plc (AIM: IQE, "IQE" or the "Group"), the leading global supplier of compound semiconductor wafer products and advanced material solutions, and Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), the leading foundry for high-value analog semiconductor solutions, are pleased to announce a multi-year agreement for the supply of Indium Phosphide (InP) epiwafers for optical connectivity solutions serving AI-driven data centre infrastructure.

IQE's InP epiwafers will be used in several of Tower's advanced silicon photonics platforms for next-generation optical technologies, providing a high-quality supply base for Tower's product roadmap. IQE and Tower's collaboration includes technology for the production of 200Gbs/lane for pluggable transceivers and the prototyping of next-generation 400Gb/lane modulators, as well as other critical applications including optical-circuit-switches for deployment in datacentres. The agreement provides for a minimum purchase commitment by Tower in the first year, a reciprocal supply commitment from IQE, and minimum volume commitments thereafter.

Under a separate agreement, Tower will also provide a broad worldwide and royalty-free license to IQE for porous silicon patents which have been the subject of an IP dispute between the companies, settling all litigation in the matter.

**Jutta Meier, Chief Executive Officer of IQE, commented:**

"*I am pleased to move forward together with Tower, already the leader in silicon photonics. This agreement reinforces IQE's position within Tier 1 global hyperscale cloud and AI infrastructure markets. With decades of InP epitaxy expertise and established high-volume manufacturing capability, IQE is primed to support next-generation optical connectivity applications as they scale from innovation to commercial deployment."*

**Dr. Marco Racanelli, President of Tower Semiconductor, commented:**

"*We are pleased to partner with IQE as a key supplier for our next-generation photonic technologies that add InP high-performance components to our high-volume, mature, silicon photonics platform. The combination will enable products that can deliver both the performance and high volumes required to scale future AI infrastructure capacity*."
