Recent Developments in Compound Semiconductor Microwave Power Transistor Technology

This paper addresses the state-of-the-art in microwave and millimetre-wave power transistor technology. The relative performance of microwave power transistor technology from 1 GHz to 60 GHz is reviewed. The fundamental technological drivers in the design of microwave compound semiconductor power transistors are discussed as the basis for developing optimum designs. A new high yield power GaAs ...

Semiconductor Packaging Assembly Technology

This chapter describes the fundamentals of the processes used by National Semiconductor to assemble IC devices in electronic packages. Electronic packaging provides the interconnection from the IC to the printed circuit board (PCB). Another function is to provide the desired mechanical and environmental protection to ensure reliability and performance. Three fundamental assembly flow processes ...

1.2 Compound Semiconductor Technology for Modern RF Modules: Status and Future Directions

The DARPA Microsystems Technology Office is developing revolutionary materials, devices, and integration techniques for meeting the RF integrated circuit performance requirements for advanced modern RF systems. The DARPA Nitride Electronic NextGeneration Technology (NEXT) program is developing high performance nitride transistors for high-speed RF, analog and mixed signal electronics. The DARPA...

Semiconductor Devices and Technology

PREFACE It is customary for a book to have a preface, wherein the author explains why he wrote it and how it differs from all the other books on a similar subject. This book came about because I was asked to update one of our sophomore courses, in part to add some material on semiconductor devices and technology and in part to increase the breadth of the course and improve its links to other pa...
