General Description
Tri Quint’s 0.5 µm p HEMT process is based on our production released 0.25 µm gate process. TQPHT substitutes lower cost optical lithography in place of e-beam and adds Tri Quint’s unique thick metal scheme. This process is targeted for high efficiency and linearity in power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, and linear, low loss and high isolation RF switch applications. The TQPHT process offers a D-Mode p HEMT with a
- 0.8 V pinch off. The three metal interconnecting layers are encapsulated in a high performance dielectric that allows wiring flexibility, optimized die size and plastic packaging simplicity. Precision Ni Cr resistors and high value MIM capacitors are included allowing higher levels of integration, while maintaining smaller, cost
- effective die sizes.
