Opis

The strategic nature of GaAs technology has attracted heavy investment from vertically integrated companies in information technology, communication and defence, as well as from semiconductor manufacturers. To gather the European activities fragmented amongst various research groups a number of collaborative projects were established in 1984 under ESPRIT (European Strategic Programme for Research on Information Technology).
This book illustrates some of the recent collaborative activities pursued under various ESPRIT GaAs projects, including applications, MMICs, devices, fabrication technologies, device and circuit modelling. It is written for all those involved in GaAs and for those who want to find out more about GaAs in Europe.
