Abstract :
UltraCMOS® is a CMOS-on-sapphire technology that has advanced through eight generations of process platforms. With its highly-insulating substrate, UltraCMOS technology enables Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) with performance equal to or better than that of GaAs-based devices, along with the integration and scaling of standard CMOS. UltraCMOS technology has captured the leading volume position in the RF front end of today´s LTE smartphones and is now ramping in tunable components. Thispresentation will review the unique advantages and breakthroughs that UltraCMOS technology has enabled.
