 IO Semiconductor Announces Multi-Stage Funding Agreement

 IO Semiconductor Incorporated (IOsemi), a San Diego fabless semiconductor start-up company, today announced that it has completed a multi-stage funding agreement with a private investor.
“IOsemi is very pleased to have completed this multi-staged investment that provides the capital necessary to move IOsemi from our current stage of technology development all the way through volume production”, said Mark Drucker, CEO of IOsemi. This speaks very highly of IOsemi’s technology and our overall business plans.”
IOsemi was formed in 2008 and is focused on the development of a high performance CMOS based technology that offers performance levels equal to or better than exotic materials, like Gallium Arsenide, without sacrificing the inherent integration and economic advantages associated with CMOS.  IOsemi expects to introduce its first products, utilizing this technology, in 2011.
In July of 2009, IOsemi was accepted into the EvoNexus incubator for high tech start-up companies based in San Diego. Since that time, IOsemi has been supported by EvoNexus with furnished office space, utilities, mentoring and educational opportunities.
“EvoNexus is proud to see IO Semiconductor achieve this investment milestone”, said Cathy Pucher, Executive Director of EvoNexus.  “EvoNexus is dedicated to supporting young high tech companies as they grow into self-sustaining companies contributing to the San Diego economy, and we congratulate IOsemi on this important step toward the growth of their business.”
