2 TECHNOLOGY Technology You Can Trust For more than a quarter of a century, TriQuint has been a trusted foundry provider to customers worldwide. We offer the industry s broadest selection of innovative process technologies based on both GaAs and GaN. OEMs, fabless semiconductor and wireless startup companies count on our established record of manufacturing expertise, dual-source manufacturing capacity and intellectual property protection to turn their designs into products. Evidence of our ongoing commitment to innovative technology development includes: Integrating GaAs phemt and HBT onto a single die to enable higher levels of integration and functionality. Utilizing optical lithography in place of e-beam to drive down costs of high-performance phemts. Evolving well-established processes to offer an HBT-based voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) process. Offering Gallium Nitride (GaN) foundry services for highfrequency applications. The Benefits of GaAs and GaN GaAs GaN GaAs can operate efficiently at higher breakdown voltages compared to silicon-based semiconductor technologies while generating less noise in frequencies in excess of 250 MHz. GaAs offers high efficiency, linearity and good wideband performance. Gallium Nitride offers greater power densities, ruggedness, power added efficiency (PAE) and ESD resistance compared to other technologies making it the ideal choice for high-power applications. TriQuint s advanced GaAs manufacturing techniques result in smaller die size and more cost competitive solutions. GaN enables performance at a given power level using fewer or smaller devices. GaN s strengths include linearity, efficiency, operating bandwidth, power density and operating voltage. GaN offers the best combination for these characteristics of any semiconductor technology. GaAs can save battery life and increase output power of high-frequency wireless circuits. Due to the inherent higher breakdown voltage, GaN is applicable for high-power handling switches and better equipped to handle the large voltage swings of high-power applications. GaAs is a critical component of many of today s must-have applications, including mobile phones, WLANs, cable TV, and automotive radar, as well as defense applications such as radar, electronic warfare and communication systems. TriQuint s GaN process was developed in conjunction with a DARPA contract and focuses on high-power amplifiers thru Ku-band.
