At maximum speed, power consumption was 40 mW/flip-flop. A second 1/8 divider, designed for lower power but using the same size transistors, consumed 8.6 mW/flip-flop at 35 GHz. Sensitivity was excellent with the high-speed version operating from DC to 48 GHz with less than 0 dBm input power. Uniformity and reproducibility were also demonstrated; all functional dividers operated above 45 GHz on-wafer and the extrapolated yield of dividers indicates that the process is capable of supporting 500-1000 transistor designs. Circuit performance was relatively insensitive to the details of the device epitaxial structure indicating a highly robust and manufacturable process.","PeriodicalId":288170,"journal":{"name":"GaAs IC Symposium.

This paper reviews recent RF industry practice in the areas of RFIC on-wafer and package testing, and predicts future trends in RFIC production testing. The testing and packaging issues for GaAs IC's are substantially the same as for Si IC's operating in the same frequency range and function. So while it is unlikely that there will be any inherent differential packaging or test advantages of GaAs over Si, it is similarly imperative to stay on or ahead of the industry roadmap to be competitive with the latest packaging and test technologies.","PeriodicalId":288170,"journal":{"name":"GaAs IC Symposium.
