Our Capabilities
Developing Disruptive MMICs for mmWave
Optimizing Performance at Every Step
mmTron’s products begin with selection of the best semiconductor technology to achieve disruptive performance. Our portfolio includes GaAs, GaN, InP, SiGe, and RFSOI from the leading foundries. However, we don’t just use the foundry’s standard process. We often specify our own epitaxial layers to obtain the best performance. We also ensure the foundry processes meet the reliability and qualification requirements for the application, including space qualification.
Once the semiconductor process is selected, the design phase uses extensive simulation to model device and circuit performance to ensure the fabricated design will mirror the modeled performance. mmTron’s designers have expertise in advanced nonlinear device modeling, EM simulation, stability analysis, thermal and mechanical analysis, and optimizing the interface from the MMIC to the package or external circuitry. These capabilities are essential to achieve disruptive performance at mmWave.
During wafer fabrication, in addition to monitoring in-process parameters, the foundry tests device and circuit performance on-wafer. Once at mmTron, the MMIC designs are fully characterized to verify the performance mirrors the simulation. Once released for production, all devices are tested and visually inspected.
