History[edit]
The name "Kopin" comes from a chinese word.[4]
In 1998, Kopin had a wafer engineering group that developed and manufactured III-V epitaxial wafers. They did so using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Their manufacturing activity supported the full range of alloys including Al, GaAs, InGaP, and InGaAs.[5]
The single-crystalline silicon on insulator wafer starting material was fabricated in Kopin’s 75,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Westboro, Massachusetts. The integrated circuits were then processed by United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) in Taiwan.[6]
Kopin's wafer manufacturing was not limited to their own displays.
