Low cost ceramic packages for mm-wave GaAs ICs. (gallium arsenide) (Product Feature)

Microwave Journal, August, 1994

Introduction

The SEC series reconfigurable low cost mm-wave ceramic package line is currently available in seven unique designs. This new series of packages has low loss from DC to 35.5 GHz and is specifically designed to be semi-customized around one or more GaAs ICs or to be used as an alternative to open carriers.

Background

The packaging of high frequency and high speed chips represents a major cost driver impacting large scale use of GaAs ICs. The package is expected to furnish a support structure and protective TABULAR DATA OMITTED enclosure while providing an electrical and thermal pathway between the die and the system. Losses to the high frequency or high speed signals arise at each electrical discontinuity and through various material and...
