Rubicon Technology Inc, a manufacturer of monocrystalline sapphire material, wafers, and components, has filed a registration statement with the US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an initial public offering on NASDAQ, aiming to raise up to $100 million.
Sapphire is the most commonly-used material employed as the substrate wafer in the epitaxial growth of LED device structures. The companys main product line is 2-4 inch-diameter sapphire wafers for LEDs and blue laser diodes. Founded in 2000, Rubicon has raised Near $44 million in venture capital funding since 2001.
Rubicons revenue was $15.45 million in the first half of 2007. Due to explosive growth in the LED market and increasing demand for large-diameter sapphire wafers, Rubicon announced in May its plans to expand its manufacturing capacity (see Rubicon Technology increases sapphire manufacturing capacity ) .
