Wavetek’s GaAs Manufacturing in UMC’s 6-inch CMOS Fab

posted on Jan 31, 2016 11:27PM

Interesting article (2014). POET partners could convert silicon fab to Gallium arsenide easily.

The conversion from CMOS line to GaAs is a logical move because 6-inch GaAs MMIC is still the mainstream technology in today’s mobile cellular and wireless infrastructure applications[2]. The clean room facility and equipment of Fab6A can also be used for GaAs process with moderate tool conversion. The construction time for the GaAs pilot line and tool conversion took approximately six months, saving roughly one year compared to a brand new fab construction. More here.
