Fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable, high performance and
highly reliable GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate MESFET
Process, each device is 100% RF tested on wafer to ensure
performance compliance.

VGG
M/A-COM’s MSAG™ process features robust silicon-like
manufacturing processes, planar processing of ion implanted
transistors, multiple implant capability enabling power, low-noise,
switch and digital FETs on a single chip, and polyimide scratch
protection for ease of use with automated manufacturing
processes. The use of refractory metals and the absence of
platinum in the gate metal formulation prevents hydrogen
poisoning when employed in hermetic packaging.
