TriQuint Semiconductor TQRLC
TQRLC is a pure passives process. It is targeted at high performance, small size passive-only circuits and utilizes over 9 µm of gold metal. The four metal layers are encapsulated in a high performance, low dielectric constant material that allows wiring flexibility and plastic packaging simplicity.FEATURES

APPLICATIONS
●GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TriQuint’s TQRLC is a pure passives process. High density interconnections are accomplished with three thick global and one surface metal interconnect layers. Precision NiCr resistors, inductors, and high value MIM capacitors are available. The process is based on the TQTRx process, currently TriQuint’s highest volume process. The TQRLC process is available on 150-mm (6 inch) wafers.●
