Gallium Arsenide RF Transistor Die

Unmounted GaAs chips or dice designed for high-frequency RF transistors used in wireless communication base stations. Falls under HTS 8541.29.00.40 as unmounted transistor dice other than photosensitive. These high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) structures are pre-packaging for microwave applications.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8541.90.00Same rate: 50%

If mounted piezo-electric crystals instead of transistors

Heading 8541 covers mounted piezo crystals separately; transistor dice remain unmounted semiconductor devices.

8543.70Lower: 12.6% vs 50%

If assembled into other electrical machines as components

Post-assembly into modules shifts to 8543 for other electrical machinery components.

8486.90.00Lower: 25% vs 50%

If for semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts, not standalone dice

Dice used in fab tools may classify under semiconductor equipment parts in 8486.
