  • Abstract
    Commercial packaging of GaAs IC components such as Power Amplifiers requires special care to ensure proper thermal management while maintaining low cost. Several types of packages are investigated for electrical and thermal performance. Some examples of ICs which utilize various types of plastic packages are also discussed.
