Mmic yield is the significant factor in determining both chip cost and level of integration. in order to maximize yield, it is necessary to establish a consistent, reproducible process control, coupled with creative circuit design techniques used to create ship sets which are tolerant to process… More

Wafer probing is the critical link between wafer fabrication, and device packaging or hybrid subsystem insertion. for gaas mmics to be cost effective, they must be tested in a manner that is reliable, fast, and efficient. this proposal describes a program to develop equipment and techniques for high… More

High dynamic range mixers are becoming more important as the complexity of the electronic warfare systems increase. since it is usually the first or second device from the rf input, the performance of the mixer is critical in the overall operation of the system. the design of the present day mixers… More
