Klein, TriQuint vice president and general manager for Defense Products and Foundry Services.

Only 39 companies that supply Raytheon SAS received awards in 2011. Winning companies were chosen by Raytheon for meeting demanding standards in the areas of quality and delivery performance, customer satisfaction, total business and financial health. Evaluations from Raytheon buyers and material program managers who interact with TriQuint every day were also part of the selection process.

TriQuint’s expertise in gallium nitride (GaN), gallium arsenide (GaAs), surface acoustic and bulk acoustic wave (SAW / BAW) technologies has made it a leading supplier of RF system components and foundry services to Raytheon. TriQuint currently supports multiple GaN process and manufacturing development programs funded by DARPA as well as US Air Force, Army and Naval laboratories. TriQuint is a Category 1A DoD ‘Trusted Foundry’ for GaAs / GaN.
