Description
M/A-COM's PE3 process utilizes molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to
implement a MESFET active layer structure that achieves high
efficiency and breakdown for multi-watt power applications thru
18GHz. The focus is on products for moderate to high volume
applications. M/A-COM offers a full compliment of foundry
services to meet the requirements for custom designing a MMIC-
based die or packaged product.
