ATMI expands GaAs epitaxy facility
Phil Yin, President of ATMI Services said, "We believe that the analog GaAs market will grow at rates well exceeding general semiconductor industry growth rates. One of the key drivers for this growth is the telecommunications industry including mobile handsets and other complementary wireless devices. These devices will require GaAs-based HBT epitaxial products. ATMI has demonstrated unique capability in the manufacture of InGaP-based HBTs, and we are presently in a sold out condition for these products."
Doug Neugold, President of ATMI said, "This expansion is a clear indication of ATMI s commitment to meeting its customers needs for GaAs epitaxial services and to ATMI s end goal of becoming the world s largest epitaxial service provider. ATMI is already the world leader in specialty silicon-based epitaxial services and is driving towards a similar position in silicon germanium.
