Asahi Kasei Announces New Plant for Compound Semiconductor Wafer Processing
Asahi Kasei Electronics (AKE), a full subsidiary of Asahi Kasei , has begun full commercial operation of a new plant for compound semiconductor wafer processing. The new plant shall play a key role as a base for production of high-performance Hall elements for use in cell phones, consumer electronics, automotive, and an expanding range of growing application fields, and will serve as the core for new business development in the field of compound semiconductor thin film devices.
At the new plant, gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers are processed to form high-performance Hall elements and other compound semiconductor devices. According to the company, the performance of Hall elements produced at the new plant is far superior to that previously available, particularly in terms of temperature dependency and sensing precision.
