 Build Commercial mmWave Applications with Our New Processes
TriQuint offers two new 150mm high-volume GaAs processes, TQP25 and TQP15, for cost-effectively building commercial mmWave applications. These new pHEMT processes utilize optical lithography technology to substantially reduce cost when compared to traditional E-beam based solutions. TriQuint's commercial foundry pHEMT offerings cover the entire range of mmW frequencies. |
 TriQuint Technology Powers Big Bang ICs
IPtronics utilized a TriQuint foundry process to develop ICs used in the Large Hadron Collider experiment in Switzerland. The ICs are part of experiments which will investigate proton-proton collisions. We look forward to seeing the results of the "world's largest scientific experiment" when the LHC comes back online in 2009. |
