PRESS RELEASE
Global
Communication Semiconductors, Inc. announces Advanced Foundry Course
on III/V Compound Semiconductor devices
Foundry
Course adds a new dimension to GCS’s services to the integrated
circuit design community
March 28, 2001,
TORRANCE, CALIF. - - - GCS, Inc. (Global Communications
Semiconductor, Inc.) a pure-play wafer foundry announced today that
it will offer a Foundry Training Course to advance the education of
IC designers moving to GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) based IC’s.
“GaAs has exceptional
properties of lower power consumption, compactness and greater
linearity compared to Si (Silicon) which is so needed in today’s
wireless and high-speed telecommunications products.” remarked
Owen K. Wu, President and CEO of GCS.
“Many Fabless Design Houses and IDM’s (Integrated Design
& Manufacturing companies) have very talented IC designers with
experience in silicon based designs that want to advance into III/V
Compound Semiconductor devices and designs.
GCS’s technical team has a strong background in III/V
Compound
Semiconductor processing and has introduced GaAs foundry
services to many IC designers.
It came to my attention that many designers desired to work
in GaAs but were unaware of how to get started.” Continued Dr. Wu.
This
two-day course prepares IC designers to work in GaAs based PHEMT,
HBT Power and HBT Digital devices through the understanding of
device models which are based upon GCS’s established foundry
processes.
Once the modeling is understood the designer can adapt IC
designs to take advantage of the superior electrical properties that
GaAs provides.
The course is currently scheduled to be held regularly, once
per calendar quarter, and is being offered openly.
The first course is scheduled for April 3rd and 4th,
2001.
Global Communication Semiconductors Inc., based in Torrance,
California, is an ISO 9002 certified company. GCS provides compound
semiconductor foundry services to the telecommunication and high-speed
networking industries. It currently offers HBT foundry service for
both InGaP and AlGaAs processes. Additionally, GCS is delivering
optoelectonic devices such as VCSEL and PIN diodes for fiber communication
market and is providing SAW filter foundry service for handset applications.
The company also plans to offer PHEMT foundry services in the first
quarter of 2000.
