Description
Hewlett-Packard’s AT-42085 is a
general purpose NPN bipolar
transistor that offers excellent
high frequency performance. The
AT-42085 is housed in a low cost
.085" diameter plastic package.
The 4 micron emitter-to-emitter
pitch enables this transistor to be
used in many different functions.
The 20 emitter finger interdigitated geometry yields a medium
sized transistor with impedances
that are easy to match for low
noise and medium power applications. Applications include use in
wireless systems as an LNA, gain
stage, buffer, oscillator, and
mixer. An optimum noise match
near 50␣ Ω up to 1 GHz, makes this
device easy to use as a low noise
amplifier.
The AT-42085 bipolar transistor is
fabricated using Hewlett-Packard’s
10 GHz f
(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.
