OVERVIEW

UMS offers high-perfomance 0.25μm GaN high-electron-mobility-transistor (HEMT), 0.15μm GaN HEMT and 0.1μm GaAs Low Noise pHEMT processes.

 

GH25 is a space evaluated 0.25 μm HEMT GaN-on-SiC substrate technology for very high-power application. With GH25 it is possible to design GaN HPAs, LNAs, switches, diodes, MMICs, power bars and multi-function components.

 

GH15 is a 0.15μm HEMT GaN-on-SiC substrate technology for very high-power application.  

 

PH10 PHEMT GaAs process is optimized for the production of low noise, wideband and medium power amplifier MMICs. With PH10 it is possible to design LNAs, variable Gain and Medium Power Amplifiers, mixers and multi-functions TX &RX MMICs, automotive radars, Imaging sensors, Optical fibre communication and Instrumentations.

 

GaAs BES (Buried Epitaxial Schottky) is a 1µm Schottky diode process that features an extremely high cut off frequency, enabling diverse circuit designs, from RF power detectors to passive balanced mixers for radar signal analysis and astronomy signal detection beyond 300 GHz. It includes two metal interconnect layers, precision TaN resistors, high-value TiWSi resistors, MIM capacitors, air-bridges, and via-holes. Optimized for low conversion loss and high-volume MMIC production, BES is recommended for mixers, passive receivers, and power detectors in telecommunications, automotive collision avoidance radars, and space communication systems.

 

GaAs ULRC 20 (Ultra Low Resistance Conductor) enables versatile passive circuit designs, including accurate microwave filters, RF power combiners, microwave baluns, matching elements, and low-loss lines, as well as power bar input/output matching circuits. Optimized for reproducibility, power handling, low losses, and high-frequency performance, it supports high-volume, high-yield production. It is ideal for designing hybrid MMICs for amplifier modules in antenna transmitters and receivers for Radars, Telecommunications, and Space Communication systems.
