GaAs Electronic Materials and Devices Author:S. Lande, A. Fletcher, R. Szweda In almost every sector of the electronics industry the application of GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) can deliver a major impact on system performance. — For example, discrete GaAs HEMT amplifiers are the enabling technology for the billion dollar satellite TV industry. High fidelity GaAs digital ICs perform essential functions in advanced telecommunicat... more »ions switching equipment. Many of the latest generation of mobile telephones are powered by high efficiency GaAs amplifiers. Computer manufacturers use GaAs logic to support high speed microprocessors such as Intel's Pentium and reflecting its origins, GaAs is a vital component in dozens of military systems.
As the industry steadily expands into new appplications it faces many key issues. This report provides a comprehensive guide and reference to the development of the GaAs electronics industry incorporating analysis of global markets, technologies and industry structure. It is designed to provide key information to users and manufacturers of GaAs substrates and devices.« less
