IDMs and foundries are looking to add capacity to existing fabs to meet the growing demand, while new entrants are establishing new lines to address future demand for the 5G rollout. Our lead customer has been at the forefront of GaAs foundry services for almost two decades, and their repeat orders are a testament to the production advantages that our etch and deposition solutions continue to deliver to their core business.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Power amplifiers (PAs) are among the most critical RF components in mobile communications and virtually all PAs in a modern smartphone are made from circuits built on GaAs semiconductors. Analysts are predicting that the growth of 4G communications, gigabit LTE (Long Term Evolution) and emerging 5G will be the growth engine to drive the RF GaAs device market from over $8.1 billion in 2017 to over $9 billion by 2021.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOur latest forecast1 shows that PAs for cellular applications will continue to account for more than half of the RF GaAs device market,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0noted\u00a0<strong>Eric Higham<\/strong>, Director of the Advanced Semiconductor Applications service at Strategy Analytics.
