GaAs MESFET, HEMT and HBT Competition with Advanced Si RF Technologies
نویسنده
چکیده
As one of the major suppliers in the area of High Frequency (HF) components, the Siemens Semiconductor HF Product Division stands for a continuous commitment to innovative Technologies and Products combined with a volume strategy. The Siemens Technology and Product Roadmap is directed to complete RF system solutions and device kits as well as standard and custom specific components in enhanced Si, GaAs and Hetero Materials (SiGe HBT, GaAs HEMT, GaAs HBT). A core competence is the fabrication of RF components in Surface Mounted Technology (SMT). We produce high volume discretes in Si & GaAs, MMICs (Monolithic Microwave IC’s) in Si & GaAs, and finally Fast Logic Circuits in enhanced Si technologies (fig. 1)

متن کاملNONLINEAR MODELING OF TRAPPING AND THER- MAL EFFECTS ON GaAs AND GaN MESFET/HEMT DE- VICES
A novel nonlinear model for MESFET/HEMT devices is presented. The model can be applied to low power (GaAs) and high power (GaN) devices with equal success. The model provides accurate simulation of the static (DC) and dynamic (Pulsed) I-V characteristics of the device over a wide bias and ambient temperature range (from −70◦C to +70◦C) without the need of an additional electro-thermal sub-circu...
متن کاملWill GaAs Survive for Wireless PA's ??
Silicon based technologies, SiGe HBT and CMOS, have captured almost all of the cellular handset application space with the exception of the RF power amplifier. In time will they also push GaAs out of these sockets? For cellular base stations Si LDMOS is the dominant technology, but as wireless applications move to higher frequencies, will GaAs displace Si LDMOS or lose out to the rapidly develo...
