InP pHEMT based MMICs
Diramics has been offering discrete bare die InP pHEMT transistors for ultra low noise hybrid LNAs. These transistors have been used in cutting edge applications from room temperature all the way to 4K. We are proud to announce that we have advanced the development of an MMIC process based on our transistor technology to a point where we can present first results from our current prototypes.
In addition to our own designs we also fabricated custom MMICs designed by external partners. The Foundry Service offering and corresponding PDK are being launched with a small selection of existing customers. Wider availability of the Foundry Service as well as the MMICs will follow after this phase. Please contact us if you are interested in more information about the MMICs or foundry service.
A short description of the MMIC process and Foundry Service can be downloaded below.
The plots below give some preview into the performance of the 5 MMIC LNAs designed and fabricated by Diramics. The circuits cover frequency bands ranging from 12 to 86 GHz, and the process is even suitable to cover the full W-band. All designs were optimized for room temperature but operation at cryogenic temperatures is possible.
