Triquint Semiconductor Inc fka TQNT

[FACT-MASTER]

Here is a follow up article on TQNT's GaN developements. In particular, notice the reasoning for the diamond substrate, read this carefully, this will be big news, imo

Excerpt:

By using a new epitaxial transfer method, performers at TriQuint Semiconductor were able to remove the GaN from its growth substrate and place it in intimate contact with a synthetically grown and specially prepared diamond substrate. Synthetic diamond has the highest known thermal conductivity of any manmade material, more than 10 times higher than the common semiconductor material, silicon.

IMO, the market hasn't quite caught on to this, if cost can be reasonably contained, this company could easily see 20,50, 80 etc.
(that's dollars)
TQNT= THE PLACE TO BE FOR GaN TECH. ( i love OREGON as well)
imo.
