MMIC Process Design Kit
Wolfspeed Inc.Request Info
Cree Inc., a maker of semiconductors for solid-state lighting, power
and communications products, and Applied Wave Research Inc., a supplier
of high-frequency electronic design automation (EDA) products for
wireless telecommunications, semiconductors and other electronics-based
applications, announce the availability of a process design kit
supporting Cree's high-power silicon carbide (SiC) process.
The
kit, announced this week at the 2006 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave
Symposium in San Francisco, enables monolithic microwave integrated
circuit (MMIC) designers to use Cree's MMIC process within AWR's
Microwave Office software environment. Designers can now improve
productivity by applying AWR's open and integrated design platform to
Cree's wide bandgap (WBG) SiC MMIC foundry services and discrete
products, the companies said.
"Cree is committed to making its
industry-leading power wide bandgap MMIC technologies accessible
through the EDA tools and flows our customers prefer," said Jim
Milligan, Cree's manager of wide bandgap radio frequency products. "The
release of this kit is an important part of that commitment and we are
pleased to be working with AWR to provide this and future GaN solutions
as well." Wide bandgap technologies such as SiC and gallium nitride
(GaN) can produce more power in a smaller space while dissipating less
heat than other available device technologies.
Key to Cree's
market advantage, the company said, is its materials expertise in SiC
and GaN for chips and packaged devices that can handle more power in a
smaller space while producing less heat than other available
technologies, materials and products. Cree drives its increased
performance technology into multiple applications including exciting
alternatives in brighter and more tunable light for general
illumination, backlighting for more vivid displays, optimized power
management for high-current switch-mode power supplies and variable
speed motors, and more effective wireless infrastructure for data and
voice communications.
