The Microwave/Millimeter Wave Monolithic Initiative (M/sup 3/I) was started by concerns in the smart munitions guidance and control community over the projected costs of millimeter wave seekers. A survey of monolithic analog integrated circuits was made by a DoD Working Group, consisting of personnel from OSD, Army, Navy, Air Force, DARPA and SDIO. The team visited 23 companies and several government facilities engaged in development of the technology.

State-of-the-art X-band power FETs and monolithic amplifiers have been fabricated by a high yield planar process using a unique double-peaked implant profile. A 1-mm FET has achieved 40 percent power added efficiency with 720 mW output power and 6.3 dB gain at 10 GHz. A two-stage monolithic amplifier has delivered 2.2 W output power at 9.5 GHz for a record 0.6 W/mm power density. The monolithic amplifier chips have also achieved 20 percent dc-yield and 5 percent uniformity in /sup I/DSS and /sup V/PO.

A fully monolithic balanced mixer fabricated on a GaAs substrate for operation at W-Band (75 to 110 GHz) is described. The overall size of the mixer chip is 0.075" x 0.075" x 0.004". A minimum conversion loss of 4.6 dB has been measured at 91.1 GHz for narrow band operation. For broadband operation, a conversion loss of less than 8 dB has been achieved over an RF range of 73.6 to 83.6 GHz with a corresponding IF range of 8 to 18 GHz.

The development of a low cost, high throughput testing/packaging procedure for GaAs MMIC is described. Automated on-wafer RF and DC testing is essential for volume production of MMIC chips. However most MMIC circuits cannot be tested at wafer level due to lack of proper RF test environment. The proposed frame tape chip carrier approach takes full advantage of the RF probe system. This technique reduces the high cost of RF package measurements and reliability testing. The measurement and packaging is demonstrated on several MMIC chips. It can easily be automated for high volume production.
