MMIC packaging solutions

January 17, 2011


Labtech has developed an innovative low cost custom packaging solution utilising Labtech's established microwave printed circuit board techniques and the use of low cost organic materials for single chip & MCM (Multichip Module) applications.

One such multichip module developed by Labtech is a cavity package that demonstrates excellent thermal characteristics particularly through to the ground plane and by raising the MMICs in a precisely machined cavity, the resultant optimisation of short bond wire lengths, ensures minimal loss of chip performance.

The Labtech low cost package technique continues to offer significant flexibility and can be adapted to cater for a wide range of MMIC designs, cavity dimensions and flexible footprint options. Labtech can also offer a package design and assembly service.
