Interesting price list from TRW.
trw.com
Check the InP HBT and HEMT foundry services at the bottom of the page TBD. Hmmm....

Another interesting tidbit from the 69 GHz release:
>>The digital circuit was made using indium phosphide heterojunction bipolar transistors. A unique feature of these transistors is the removal of collector material beneath the base layer, resulting in a cantilevered base layer resting upon a pedestal-like collector layer (see photo). The greater the amount of cantilevering, the higher the speed of the frequency divider.<<

I assume that is because of air's dielectric constant.

Anyway, it looks like that they don't want to make, market and sell commercial product as much as they want to make money off other people who do. I guess we should watch the folks who use their foundries or license their tech.
