Cree Overview Video on YouTube  — In this video, Jeremy Fisher, Manager of the MMIC Design and Test Group at Cree, describes what Cree provides for mutual customers of Agilent EEsof EDA and Cree.

GaN MMIC Foundry Services

GaN-based HEMTs

Broadband performance - Enables high power, multi-octave bandwidth amplifiers

Cree’s GaN HEMT MMIC processes are available for MMIC development using full-wafer service (FWS) or a shared multi-project MASK SET (SM) fabrication service. The process features high-power density (4 Watts/mm) transistors, slot vias, high reliability up to 225ºC operating junction temperatures, and scalable unit cells (1 to 8mm/Cell). The value of such MMICs is more power bandwidth and higher efficiency within a smaller footprint compared to other MMIC technologies.
