0.5um HFET Process
0.5um HFET offers excellent linearity and power density for wireless communication amplifiers that require super high linearity. A linearity figure of merit (IP3-P1dB) of 20 dB can be achieved. Design kits, models and samples are available upon request. Excellent reliability with an MTTF of 2.95E+9 hours are achieved. This process has been qualified and in production since 2005.
