Avago Technologies’ MSA (Monolithic Silicon Amplifier) series MODAMP silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) are intended for use as general purpose 50 ohm gain blocks. Their single chip construction minimizes size and parasitics and maximizes uniformity; these factors translate into low cost and excellent high frequency performance. The wafer fabrication process uses nitride self-alignment for precise registration, ion implantation for precise doping control, and both gold metalization and nitride passivation for high reliability. A variety of geometries are available, allowing the designer to select for appropriate gain, power, noise, and frequency chacteristics. Packaging options, ranging from inexpensive plastics to high reliability, hermetically sealed ceramic microstrip, provide a choice of cost, reliability, and electrical performance characteristics.
Products & Services
Thin film coating services apply very thin layers of specialized materials to part surfaces. They perform processes such chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), ion implantation, electrochemical deposition (ECD), plasma etching, rapid thermal processing (RTP), and titanium nitride coating.
Refractory services for manufacturing, installing and repairing refractory shapes or monolithic refractories.
Bipolar RF transistors consist of an N-type or P-type layer sandwiched between two layers of the opposite type. They are designed to handle high-power radio frequency (RF) signals in devices such as stereo amplifiers, radio transmitters, and television monitors.
Ceramic balls are rolling, spherical elements that are used in check and ball valves, bearings, and other mechanical devices that provide rotary or linear motion. They can provide higher stiffness, lower thermal expansion, lighter weight, increased corrosion resistance, and higher electrical resistance than comparable steel products.
RF amplifiers are devices that accept a varying input signal and produce an output signal that varies in the same way, but with larger amplitude.
