01/01/2000

IBM (Fishkill, N.Y.) and RF Micro Devices Inc. (Greensboro, N.C.) have agreed to develop radio frequency integrated circuits based on IBM`s silicon germanium process technology. The new RFICs are targeted for the next generation of cellular phones and are expected to reduce the chips in wireless handsets, shorten time-to-market and produce smaller phones that use less power.
