ATF-10736
36 micro-X PackageDescription
The ATF-10736 is a high performance gallium arsenide Schottkybarrier-gate field effect transistor
housed in a cost effective
microstrip package. Its noise
figure makes this device appropriate for use in the gain stages 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 interconcnects
between drain fingers. Total gate
periphery is 500 microns. Proven
gold based metallization systems
and nitride passivation assure a
rugged, reliable device.
