Cellular phone popularity spurs GaAs shipments

Article Abstract:

A report from the Japan Manufacturers Society of Compound Semiconductor Materials revealed a 20% increase in shipments of gallium-arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor materials between Apr and Sep 1998. However, shipments of gallium-phosphorous materials dropped sharply during the same period, according to the report. The increase in the demand for GaAs materials is attributed to the growing cellular telephone market.
