Skyworks Unveils Breakthrough BiFET Process; Patented Technology Enables Performance, Integration and Cost Advantages
01 Março 2006 - 10:00AM
Business Wire
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:SWKS), an industry leader in radio
solutions and precision analog semiconductors, today announced it
is leveraging a highly innovative bipolar field effect transistor
(BiFET) process technology for its gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based
products, enabling it to further differentiate its portfolio and
achieve additional cost savings when developing solutions for
today's leading handset manufacturers. BiFET uniquely integrates
indium gallium phosphide (InGaP)-based heterojunction bipolar
transistors (HBTs) with field effect transistors (FETs) on the same
GaAs substrate. The addition of FETs to a high yielding InGaP/GaAs
HBT process allows advanced bias control features to be embedded in
the same power amplifier (PA) die, thereby eliminating the need for
external bias control circuits for many applications. When coupled
with other proprietary technology that extends battery life and
reduces the radio frequency (RF) loss between integrated
components, Skyworks is able to increase functionality and simplify
designs while leveraging production costs across a suite of
GaAs-based solutions, and address additional markets that require
embedded analog signal processing and control functionality. "With
the development and launch of our proprietary BiFET process
technology, Skyworks is delivering significant performance
advantages in GaAs that support high-volume wireless applications,"
said Steven C. Machuga, vice president of RF front-end development
for Skyworks' Mobile Platforms' business. "At a higher level, BiFET
represents yet another breakthrough technology developed by
Skyworks, enabling higher levels of device integration and allowing
our customers' to differentiate their platforms through
considerable reductions in both time-to-market and cost." Available
