ON Semiconductor Launches IPD2 Process Technology that Combines HighQ Performance and Small Size for Portable Electronics Applications

March 10th, 2011
  • ON Semiconductor has introduced a new integrated passive device (IPD) process technology
  • An enhancement of the company’s existing HighQ copper (Cu) on silicon (Si) IPD technology, the new IPD2 process features a second 5um copper layer that increases inductor performance, allows greater flexibility, and supports the design of highly precise, cost-effective IPDs for RF system in package applications in portable electronics equipment
  • One of a number of innovative manufacturing services offered by ON Semiconductor’s custom Foundry Division, the HighQ IPD2 process utilizes advanced 8-inch wafer technology
  • Typical designs include baluns, low pass filters, band pass filters and diplexers used in the latest portable and wireless applications
  • Here, IPD2-based designs provide important benefits for circuit designers including reduced cost, reduced thickness, small footprint, and higher performance that equates to longer battery life
  • ON Semiconductor offers fully featured design tools and design support plus rapid prototyping capabilities for its IPD2 process technology
