<i> Compiled by Jack Searles</i>
Vitesse Semiconductor Corp., a Camarillo producer of circuits and other equipment for the computer industry, says it is shipping large quantities of its gallium arsenide chips to a unit of Schlumberger Ltd.
The chips will be used by Schlumberger’s automatic test equipment division, which produces systems for testing semiconductor devices and other electronic assemblies.
“Vitesse is pleased to be partnering with an industry leader such as Schlumberger,” said Chris Gardner, Vitesse’s marketing director.
Chris Helland, hardware project manager at the Schlumberger unit, said the Vitesse chips, known as GaAs, will be used to replace other equipment to improve performance and reduce overall costs.
