TriQuint has maintained a strong emphasis on quality & reliability. Because gallium arsenide (GaAs) technology will always be "new" relative to mainstream silicon, TriQuint has oriented its Quality and Reliability Group toward establishing systems that provide information for pro-active corrective and preventative improvements. These Quality Systems are described in the TriQuint Quality Manual (request a copy).

Implementation of quality systems has allowed TriQuint to become registered to ISO 9001:2000. Some of the differences between gallium arsenide and silicon devices lead to specific advantages for the TriQuint technology - especially in terms of reliability. TriQuint has published numerous articles on this and related subjects, all of which are available here.
