Mimix Broadband

’

s 10.0-40.0 GHz GaAs MMIC

distributed amplifier has a small signal gain of 17.0 dB

with a noise figure of 5.0 dB. This MMIC uses Mimix

s 0.15

µ

m GaAs PHEMT device model

technology, and is based upon electron beam

lithography to ensure high repeatability and

uniformity. The chip has surface passivation to protect

and provide a rugged part with backside via holes and

gold metallization to allow either a conductive epoxy

or eutectic solder die attach process. This device is well

suited for microwave, millimeter-wave, wideband

military, and fiber optic applications.
