Despite the competition of silicon, the wireless communication demand will continue to promote the development of gallium arsenide market.

According to the market research and consulting company, information network, according to the powerful wireless communication requirements make gaas IC market growth rate of more than 25% in 2015.

Every phone contains based on gaas heterojunction bipolar transistor (our HBT) technology of power amplifier (PA). A 2 g phone contains a PA, and a 3 g mobile phone usually contains as many as five PA. Apple's 4 g smartphones 6 s contains six PA: Avago ACPM - 7600 and ACPM - 7600, qualcomm QFE2320 and QFE2340, and Skyworks sky85303 and sky85707.

The company's "GaAs IC market", the report said although GaAs PA is gradually replaced by silicon CMOS products, continue to lose market share, but in the foreseeable future, will continue to dominate in the field of RF technology.

PA pricing has increased from $0.30 each 2 g mobile phone to $1.25 each of the 3 g mobile phone, the global long-term evolution (LTE) technology in the PA for $3.25.
