Holy Grail! Motorola claims high-yield GaAs breakthrough

摘要

Hailing it as a revolutionary breakthrough, Motorola says it has discovered a method to manufacture GaAs-based compound semiconductors at high yields. Scientists at the company's corporate research laboratories have successfully placed gallium arsenide on silicon wafers by puttingrna thin insulating layer between the GaAs and the substrate. If the results justify the hype, Motorola can lay claim to a long-sought Holy Grail for the semiconductor industry.
