Description
Hewlett-Packard’s AT-41470 is a
general purpose NPN bipolar
transistor that offers excellent
high frequency performance. The
AT-41470 is housed in a hermetic,
high reliability gold-ceramic 70 mil
microstrip package. The 4 micron
emitter-to-emitter pitch enables
this transistor to be used in many
different functions. The 14 emitter
finger interdigitated geometry
yields an intermediate sized
transistor with impedances that
are easy to match for low noise
and moderate power applications.
This device is designed for use in
low noise, wideband amplifier,
mixer and oscillator applications
in the VHF, UHF, and microwave
frequencies. An optimum noise
match near 50 Ω at 1 GHz , makes
this device easy to use as a low
noise amplifier.
The AT-41470 bipolar transistor is
fabricated using Hewlett-Packard’s
10 GHz fT Self-Aligned-Transistor
(SAT) process. The die is nitride
passivated for surface protection.
Excellent device uniformity,
performance and reliability are
produced by the use of ionimplantation, self-alignment
techniques, and gold metalization
in the fabrication of this device.
