Knowledge*ON is offering foundry services based on the state-of-the-art 6-inch InGaP HBT technology for world-wide wireless business runner. Our main customers are in the scope of MMICs and RFICs designing and manufacturing for GSM, CDMA, DCS, Optical Communications and WLAN(802.11b) etc.
There are three standard Knowledge*ON processes for MMIC. These processes have different HBT parameters and table1 describes the HBT parameters of the Knowledge*ON processes.
