TriQuint Semiconductor Announces An Alliance With GHz Circuit Design For RFIC Design Services HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 1999-- TriQuint Foundry Customers Now Have a New England Resource for Gallium Arsenide IC Design Services. TriQuint Semiconductor and GHz Circuit Design Inc. today announced an agreement to utilize GHz Circuit Design's third party RFIC design services in conjunction with TriQuint's GaAs IC Foundry Services. The agreement provides customers with turnkey GaAs RFIC services and an RFIC design presence in the New England geographical area. Customers, while contracting with TriQuint, will have access to, and be supported by GHz Circuit Design's radio frequency integrated circuit design team. TriQuint will then move the design into production providing wafer manufacturing, die packaging and IC testing services. TriQuint is developing a worldwide network of independent, authorized Design Centers to support its market-leading GaAs Foundry Services. "GHz Circuit Design Engineers have an excellent track record with TriQuint," says Bruce Fournier, VP of TriQuint's Foundry Services Division. "Their previous wireless transceiver design experience with TriQuint processes will bolster our presence in the New England area and help us support customers who want to develop custom GaAs Integrated Circuits for RF applications." TriQuint offers a wide variety of Gallium Arsenide semiconductor technologies including E/D MesFET, pHEMT, VPIN, and HFET. GHz Circuit Design offers RFIC design services including highly integrated, full custom RF and Mixed Signal product designs on a broad spectrum of GaAs and Silicon processes. Specific markets addressed by recent designs include Global Positioning Satellite receivers, GSM cellular phone transceivers, xDSL Front End chipsets, Bluetooth transceivers, and LMDS/MVDS chip sets. Process technologies utilized for these devices included E/D MesFET GaAs, power MesFET, GaAs HBT, pHEMT, BiCMOS, and Silicon Bipolar. "We're all very thrilled to be working with TriQuint again. They are the class of the GaAs Foundry business," says Geoff Dawe, GHz Circuit Design Founder and President. GHz Circuit Design, Inc. founded in 1996 provides customers with full Front-To-Back RF and Mixed Signal IC design services.
