Jazz Process Chosen: RF CMOS

Product: RF-MEMS Digitally Tunable Capacitor Devices

Description: The companies plan to integrate RF-MEMS digital capacitors and other functions into active silicon circuitry, enabling a roadmap to higher levels of integration with RF circuitry such as low noise amplifiers (LNAs), power amplifiers (PAs) and transceiver technology.

Target: Integrated RF-MEMS enabled tunable solutions address the needs of the rapidly growing cellular handset and mobile communications markets.

"WiSpry believes that RF-MEMS devices will be a disruptive element in the design of future RF systems. However, as with all components in the mobile domain, requirements such as price, power and performance are key. Our success in bringing this exciting technology to market depends on our ability to leverage existing semiconductor processes, permitting us to drive down cost and successively increase integration with other RF technologies. To that end, we are delighted to be able to develop this strategic relationship with Jazz, whom we view as one of the leading foundries in the RF semiconductor space."
