SiGe Semiconductor Ships 10 Millionth Chip

Fueled by wireless consumer electronics applications, SiGe Semiconductor has shipped in excess of ten million integrated circuits (ICs) based on silicon germanium technology. The privately-held company said sales revenue for 2003 increased by about 150% over the previous year. About 70% of its business is attributed to wireless power amplifiers used in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth products. In addition to wireless power amplifiers, the company has developed integrated circuits and front-end modules for cellular, GPS and optical interface applications. http://www.sige.com
