The radio-frequency firm formed in 2015 when RF Micro Devices and TriQuint merged.
Qorvo was created in 2015 by merging RF Micro Devices with TriQuint Semiconductor. The company makes the radio front-end: the power amplifiers, filters (BAW and SAW) and switches that sit between a phone's antenna and its baseband. Its customers are the big handset makers, Apple and Samsung among them.
The RF market is effectively a duopoly in which Qorvo and Skyworks share most of it. Beyond phones, the company makes gallium nitride (GaN) parts for base stations and defence.
