Description
The ATF-10136 is a high performance
gallium arsenide Schottky-barriergate field effect transistor housed in a
cost effective microstrip package. Its
premium noise figure makes this
device appropriate for use in the first
stage of low noise amplifiers operating in the 0.5-12 GHz frequency range.
This GaAs FET device has a nominal
0.3 micron gate length using airbridge
interconnects between drain fingers.
Total gate periphery is 500 microns.
Proven gold based metallization
systems and nitride passivation
assure a rugged, reliable device.

CASE
4. Storage above +150° C may tarnish
the leads of this package making it
difficult to solder into a circuit.
After a device has been soldered
into a circuit, it may be safely
stored up to 175°C.
5. The small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though
more accurate determination of θ
than do alternate methods. See
APPLICATIONS PRIMER IIIA for
more information.
