| Nanotech |
| Founded & led by industry veterans, Nanotech Semiconductor is a fabless chip company, designing and supplying Driver and Receiver ICs for the fiber-optics communications industry. |
| |
| History |
| Nanotech Semiconductor was founded in May 2003 by Gary Steele, co-founder and CEO of the UK's first Fabless Chip Company, Acapella Ltd. Gary was also the founder and CEO of Microcosm Communications Ltd., in 1995, the first company to deliver high-speed optical networking components based on pure-CMOS process technology. Microcosm raised $8m in first- and second-round funding in 1998 and 1999, and was acquired in January 2000 by Conexant Systems Inc., for stock. Peak value was approx. $300m. |

| Customer Relationships |
| We have built excellent partnerships with the industry's leading manufacturers of optical transceiver modules over nearly 15 years. In the US, Europe and Asia we are known for Product Innovation, Quality, and Price Leadership, especially for high-volume products. |
| |
| Design Team |
Our Senior Design Team each have 20-30 years of full-custom CMOS analog design experience. They have previously designed the world's first pure-CMOS LED drivers, VCSEL drivers and AGC TIAs. Despite being up to 8 years old, many of these ICs still set the standard today for example sensitivity.
The team has a proven track-record to >4Gbps in pure CMOS, and over 100 million Fiber-optic communications ICs shipped! |
| |
| Our Mission... |
| …is to bring fresh innovation to fiber-optic transceiver modules and optical links. To dramatically improve the Price and Performance of existing chipsets, where possible replacing Bipolar/BiCMOS/SiGe ICs with pure-CMOS. |
