Abstract :
The wireless and optical fiber markets are roaring back to life. The lifeblood of these markets has been the high-performance integrated circuits typically made in compound semiconductor technology. GaAs, SiGe, InP, SiC, and, more recently, GaN and antimonides have been making impressive strides in performance, availability, and features. However, the recent market lull has given RF CMOS a chance to make inroads into some areas that were previously the sole purview of III-V semiconductors. The Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuit Symposium (formerly the Gallium Arsenide Sym-posium-GaAs IC) offers attendees the opportunity to stay abreast of these developments in critical compound semiconductor technology and circuit techniques. This year, our 26th, the symposium will be held 24–27 October in Monterey, California, its home away from home, in the Portola Plaza Hotel overlooking Monterey Bay. The Symposium will be held at the same location as CS-Max, with a unified CS-Week 2004 Technology Exhibition. CS-Max will offer a distinct manufacturing-oriented technical program 27–30 October, following the CSICS technical program.
