About Raytheon Semiconductors
This record does not match a clearly separate company. Raytheon is a business within RTX Corporation, formed in 2020 when Raytheon Company merged with United Technologies, and RTX is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, not Waltham. RTX's Raytheon website lists microelectronics under its advanced technology work, alongside radars, electronic warfare and missile systems. Specific claims about gallium arsenide or gallium nitride chips and radiation-hardened parts could not be confirmed here. The 1922 founding date refers to the original Raytheon company, not a semiconductor unit.
Raytheon Semiconductors was founded in 1922 and is based in Arlington, VA, United States. It is listed under Custom Silicon, ASICs. Its shares trade as RTX on NYSE.

What Raytheon Semiconductors works on
Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
ASICs
An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.
