The partnership is focused on final testing and probe for linear, power management, sensor and MEMS customers, which aligns with the expertise of both Unisem and KVD. Additionally, Unisem Sunnyvale will host the KVD equipment as an incubator for analog fabless and startup companies so they can have access to a world-class package and test operation.
(February 4, 2008) Neubiberg, Germany Infineon Technologies has announced it is shipping in volume RF switches that are manufactured in a CMOS-based process on silicon wafers and offer the equivalent performance of RF switches manufactured in gallium arsenide (GaAs) process technology. Previously, CMOS-based RF switches had to be manufactured on dedicated and more expensive sapphire wafers to reach the performance of GaAs switches, the Infineon release said.
