早在30年前,砷化镓场效应管(GaAs FETs)就已经被提出来,最初是应用于军事微波,例如作为行波管固态替代品,在这些年里,砷化镓FETs在其价格、性能以及可靠性方面均有稳定持续的改善。在过去的10年里,从卫星接收机到蜂窝电话,再到先进的CATV机上接收机的诸多领域中,砷化镓FETs都投入了越来越多的商业应用。据1996年Data Quest调查,砷化镓设备在总半导体市场占
GaAs FETs have been proposed as early as 30 years ago and were initially used in military microwaves, for example as a solid state replacement for traveling wave tubes. In these years, GaAs FETs, at their price , Performance and reliability have a steady and continuous improvement. In the past decade, gallium arsenide FETs have been deployed in more and more commercial applications in many areas ranging from satellite receivers to cellular phones to advanced CATV receivers. According to the 1996 Data Quest survey, gallium arsenide equipment in the total semiconductor market
