ANADIGICS ANNOUNCES NEW WAFER FABRICATION PLANT.WARREN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 1996--ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD ANAD Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders ANAD National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders ANAD Anniston Army Depot ANAD Asociación Nacional de Abogados Democráticos (National Association of Democratic Lawyers, Mexico) ) today announced plans to construct a new 10,000 square foot clean room for the production of gallium arsenide An alloy of gallium and arsenic compound (GaAs) that is used as the base material for chips. Several times faster than silicon, it is used in high frequency applications such as cellphones, DVD players and fiber optics. (GaAs) integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. . The clean room will occupy part of the new manufacturing space ANADIGICS announced in April 1996, adjacent to the Company's headquarters location in Warren, NJ. The Company expects to invest approximately $35 million over 1997 and 1998 in the new clean room and equipment. This expansion will essentially double ANADIGICS's wafer production capacity. The fab is expected to begin operation in the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company's intent is to run 4" GaAs wafers, however, the equipment purchased will be upgradable to 6" GaAs wafer production. Hodess Building Company has been selected to design/build the GaAs wafer fabrication Wafer Fabrication is a procedure composed of many repeated sequential processes to produce complete electrical or photonic circuits. Examples include production of radio frequency (RF) amplifiers, LEDs, optical computer components, and CPUs for computers. facility for ANADIGICS, Inc.
