  2. 6. Development of SiC MESFET Based MMIC Technology

    Author : Mattias Sudow; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MIM capacitor; high power amplifier; limiter; SiC MMIC; SiC MESFET; SiC Schottky; TFR; high levelmixer; spiral inductor; via-hole;

    Abstract : A SiC MESFET based MMIC process has been successfully developed. This technology has its main potential in high power microwave circuits. It will offer the benefits of the high integration seen in GaAs MMIC at the same time as it will offer the benefits of the high voltage operation seen in Si LDMOS and Si BJTs. READ MORE
