Foundry services for the creation of microwave microcontrollers

The company provides a full range of foundry services for the creation (implementation of R&D), manufacture of experimental and prototype models, and production of a wide range of microwave integrated circuits for the L-, S-, X-, and K-bands using A3B5 materials according to customer requirements (frequency range, gain, noise, output power, etc.).

The following technologies have been mastered:

• 200 nm pHEMT (example: low noise amplifier);
• 200 nm DrHEMT (power amplifier 9-10 GHz and power amplifier 30-36 GHz);
• Schottky diodes (frequency converter module 6-18 GHz and 14-22 GHz, protective device 2.5-12 GHz);
• pin diodes (2-4 GHz protective device module);
• GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors.

The technologies include a full set of operations required for the manufacture of microwave devices, which enable passivation of the microwave oven and wafer thinning, forming:

• active elements (transistors, diodes) using electron beam lithography;
• galvanic inductors with "air" bridges;
• MDM capacitors;
• thin-film resistors;
• through holes.

For devices Technologies developed and used in ceramics include:

• forming microstrip lines grown by galvanic methods;
• thin-film resistors;
• metallized through-holes, both blind, metal-filled, and open.
  

The institute's database of circuit design solutions for various devices and its library of standard components allow for project completion in 4 months or less.

Development times for filters on standard substrates range from 1 to 2 months.

The necessary measurements are conducted on manufactured samples at the Company's own test bench. Filter microcircuit testing is carried out at a probe station.

In addition to placing foundry orders, customers can take advantage of the Company's production facilities as a separate service:

• manufacturing photomasks for photolithography;
• manufacturing A3B5 wafers;
• laser cutting of ceramic materials;
• manufacturing circuit boards on ceramic and polymer wafers;
• crystal microassemblies.

After completing testing of the delivered prototypes, an order for the production of an agreed-upon batch of microwave devices can be placed.
