ANADIGICS makes chips that cook with GaAs. The company makes gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) radio-frequency integrated circuits for cable television systems, wireless communications devices, and fiber-optic equipment. GaAs and InP are costlier than silicon, but their physical properties allow the compound materials to be used for chips that are smaller and faster or more energy-efficient than silicon chips. ANADIGICS' power amplifiers, switches, and other chips can be found in the cell phones, cable modems, set-top boxes, and other gear of Intel (22% of sales), Kyocera, LG Electronics (10%), Motorola, Samsung Electronics (13%), Huawei Technologies (also 10%), and Cisco Systems (also 10%).
