Highly integrated 3-D MMIC technology being applied to novel masterslice GaAs- and Si-MMIC's

A novel masterslice MMIC design approach employing a 3-D MMIC structure is described using a highly-integrated 17-24 GHz GaAs single-chip receiver and a 7-10 GHz Si reactive-impedance-matching amplifier, which are the most recent devices fabricated with our process. This approach considerably reduces TAT and manufacturing costs.
