Who we are

To Drive Innovation & Provide Added Values

Founded in October 2010, Wavetek is located in the Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan, and was established as the science park's first 6-inch compound semiconductor GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) foundry.

Wavetek has over 30 years of 6" silicon-based CMOS foundry experience, and inherits industry-leading manufacturing processes as part of UMC's New Business Group. We are committed to providing our customers with high-quality compound semiconductor integrated circuit, device, and advanced optical interconnect technology manufacturing services. Wavetek is also the world’s first company to have TFLN (thin-film lithium niobate) photonics technology qualified by customers and brought into wafer-fab mass production, successfully becoming part of the key technology supply chain for optical communications in AI data centers.

Wavetek owns the most advanced GaAs, GaN, TFLN manufacturing process technology and supplies dedicated, flexible, and competitive foundry services to global design houses and IDM partners. The company also maintains a technically sound and continuously innovative research and development team for compound semiconductor technologies. We uphold UMC's first-class manufacturing capability and are led by a pragmatic and efficient management team to create maximum value for our customers.

What we do ...

Maximizing Customer’s success

The technologies we offer range from next-generation GaAs HBT technology, 0.15 micron pHEMT technology, gallium nitride RF devices, gallium nitride power devices and SAW filters. We also manufacture TFLN (thin-film lithium niobate) electro-optic modulator that applied in silicon photonic modules. The full product line can be widely used in wireless mobile communications for smart phones, wireless LANs, microwave wireless base stations, GPS, wireless mini-base stations, cable television and Internet of things (IoT), National Defense applications, optical fiber communications PD Charger, On-board Battery Charger, silicon photonic modules and many other fields.

Wavetek offers cutting-edge foundry services with the broadest product portfolio in the compound semiconductor and CMOS specialty technology industry. We will continue our research and development in new technologies to become a leader in RF front-end, optical interconnect, power electronics for broadband networks and AI data center industry to achieve the ultimate goal of helping customers to create the most value.
