Five years joint research on GaAs electronics in Germany.

Transistors with transit frequencies beyond 100 GHz, demonstration of quantum devices, development of high frequency ICs for satellite system, collision warning radar for automobiles and microwave landing systems, development of high speed ICs for supercomputers and real time image processing as well as for optical data transmission at data rates byond 10 Gbit per second in local area networks. These were the goals of an ambitious five year programme, GaAs Electronics, funded by the Federal Ministry of Research and Technology (BMFT) in Germany.
