  • SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS INC Profile

    The sky's the limit for Skyworks Solutions' wireless ambitions. Skyworks makes integrated circuits (ICs) and discrete semiconductors that are used by manufacturers such as Motorola (16% of sales), Nokia, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications (22%), and Samsung Electronics (11%) in their wireless telephone handsets and infrastructure gear. Skyworks, which built its name as a defense contractor, makes its ICs out of gallium arsenide (GaAs), a material that performs at higher speeds and with less energy consumption than industry-standard silicon. The company gets more than 80% of its sales from customers in the Asia/Pacific region.
