TriQuint Wins $12.3M DARPA Contract

Hillsboro, Oregon-based TriQuint Semiconductor said today that it has been selected for a $12.3M contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). TriQuint said that it is leading a program focused on ultra-fast gallium nitride (GaN) switch technology, which is aimed at creating RF transmitters which are substantially smaller than current solutions. TriQuint said the win is one of a number of projects it has going on with DARPA covering GaN process and manufacturing technology.
