Iindaba zeShishini: I-Keysight kunye ne-WIN ziyasebenzisana ukunciphisa umngcipheko woyilo lwezixhobo ze-RF ezisebenza rhoqo

I-Keysight Technologies Inc yaseSanta Rosa, eCA, e-USA kunye ne-WIN Semiconductors Corp yaseTaoyuan City, eTaiwan — ebonelela ngeenkonzo ze-gallium arsenide (GaAs) kunye ne-gallium nitride (GaN) wafer foundry kwiimarike ezingenazingcingo, iziseko zophuhliso kunye neenethiwekhi — ibhengeze umsebenzi woyilo oludibeneyo lwe-monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) ovumela izindlu zoyilo ze-GaN MMIC ukuba ziphumelele kwi-first-pass tapeout. Umsebenzi woyilo uqhagamshela ukulingisa i-on-chip multi-domain, uyilo lwe-3D kunye nokuqinisekiswa, kunye noyilo lwebhodi yovavanyo lwe-MMIC olungasebenziyo kwindawo enye. Ixhasa inani elikhulayo leenkampani eziphuhlisa ii-GaN MMICs zezikhululo zesiseko ze-5G, iindawo zokufikelela ze-Wi-Fi, imithwalo yesathelayithi, kunye neenkqubo ze-radar zokhuselo.

Ukungaphumeleli kwe-tapeout kunokuthetha ukuba iiveki zilahlekile kwenye i-foundry re-spin. Le ndlela intsha yokusebenza izenzekela iseti epheleleyo yokulinganisa, ukwenza ngcono kunye namanyathelo okuqinisekisa afunekayo ukuze kusayinwe uyilo lwe-MMIC, ukuqinisekisa ukuba akukho hlalutyo lushiywayo ngaphambi kokuba uyilo lungeniswe kwi-foundry ukuze lwenziwe.

Abathengi beMMIC abayi kuzibophelela ekuthengeni de bakwazi ukulinganisa ukusebenza kwibhodi yovavanyo ebonakalayo equka iMMIC, ukupakisha, iPCB kunye nezihlanganisi zovavanyo. Indlela yokusebenza ivumela iinjineli ukuba ziyile kwaye zilungiselele ezi zinto zikwi-chip kunye nezingekho kwi-chip kunye, ukuze ukusebenza kuhambelane neenkcukacha njengoko ziqinisekisiwe ngezixhobo zovavanyo. Njengoko imakethi yezixhobo zeGaN RF yehlabathi kulindeleke ukuba ifikeleleI-2.77 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ngo-2031, izindlu zoyilo zeMMIC ezingenakubonisa ukusebenza kakuhle kwibhodi yovavanyo zisengozini yokulahlekelwa yinxalenye yazo yolo kukhula.

Ikhithi yoyilo lwenkqubo ye-WIN ye-NP 120P GaN yamva nje inika abayili be-MMIC ukufikelela kwiimodeli zenkqubo kunye nemithetho yoyilo. Ezi modeli zingaphakathi kweKeysight Advanced Design System (ADS) kunye ne-RF Circuit Simulation Professional zenza umsebenzi ube lula ukuze kufezekiswe i-MMIC tapeout yokuqala.

“Siyavuya ukusebenzisana neKeysight ukubonelela ngesisombululo se-LVS esenziwe ngokwezifiso ngaphakathi kwe-WIN ADS PDK,” utshilo uRichard Kuo, umlawuli wenkonzo yoyilo kwi-WIN. “Ngokudibanisa ubuchule be-Keysight be-ADS kunye ne-PDK eqinileyo ye-WIN kunye netekhnoloji yenkqubo ephucukileyo, sinikezele ngesisombululo esibanzi sokuqinisekisa esilungelelanise ukuhamba koyilo lomthengi kwaye sikhawulezise ixesha lokuthengisa iimveliso ze-RF eziphambili ngokuzithemba okukhulu kunye nokuthembeka,” wongeza.

“I-PDK epheleleyo ye-WIN, idibene nezixhobo zokulinganisa kunye nokuqinisekisa zeKeysight, inika abayili indlela enye ukusuka kuyilo lweetshiphusi ukuya kwibhodi yovavanyo,” utshilo uNilesh Kamdar, umphathi jikelele, i-EDA, isoftware yobunjineli boyilo, iKeysight. “Izindlu zoyilo ngoku zinokubonisa ukusebenza ngokupheleleyo kwenkqubo ngaphambi kokuba zenziwe, zinike abathengi bazo ukuzithemba kokuzinikela.”
