What IntelliEPI Inc. (Cayman) does

Compound-semiconductor epitaxial wafer maker (GaAs, InP) for RF, optical and defense applications, headquartered in Texas but listed in Taiwan.

Grows thin crystal layers on bare wafers that its customers turn into chips, so orders follow its customers' output of RF and optical devices. Each layer structure is designed to the customer's chip and qualified before volume purchases, which makes accounts sticky but few.

In one line: A US-based (Texas) compound-semiconductor epi-wafer maker listed on the Taiwan exchange.
