UK government has stepped in to buy a fabrication plant to secure supplies of gallium arsenide semiconductors used by the ...

In 2001, Motorola developed a technique that places a spongy layer between gallium arsenide and silicon on the same wafer. Combining these two materials yields a higher-speed product at a lower cost.

Modern communication systems, both microwave and optical, are beginning to rely heavily on the high frequency circuit performance capabilities provided by III V semiconductor materials, of which the ...
