PROFILE |
 |
AXT: It's a GaAs-GaAs-GaAs. The company (formerly American Xtal Technology) makes semiconductor substrates from compounds such as gallium arsenide (GaAs, more than 80% of sales) and indium phosphide, and from single elements such as germanium. Manufacturers use AXT's substrates to make chips for products -- including cell phones, fiber-optic devices, and satellite solar cells -- in which silicon chips are not adequate. The company also makes lasers and light-emitting diodes. Almost half of AXT's sales come from outside North America. Top customers include Agilent, Motorola, and Sumitomo Chemical. AXT has closed its unprofitable consumer products division, which made laser-based pointing and alignment devices.
