Knowledge*on Inc. :::: 6" InGaP HBT Foundry Service:::::

   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
