June 10, 2003, TAIPEI, TAIWAN---- RF Integration (Lowell, USA) and WIN Semiconductors Corporation, a world-leading GaAs IC foundry inTaiwan, announced their cooperation in terms of MMIC design and chip manufacturing.

Using RF Integration RF/Mixed Signal design expertise, both companies agree to work together to provide a complete solution to customers that require MMIC designs, from single functions like Pas, Attenuators or Switches, to integrated solutions like complete Transceivers, based on a broad portfolio of GaAs wafer fabrication processes available from WIN. Through this collaborative supply chain, both companies can support customers from system specification to chip manufacturing.

"In addition to supporting WIN’s customers to develop their product portfolio using the“best-in-class“ process, working with WIN enhances our ability to deliver high quality and high performance products to the marketplace", says Jean Luc Lembert, VP Strategic Business Development.

“Our 6-inch GaAs processes (HBT and HEMT) are particularly tuned for affordable mass production of MMICs in applications from high volume components, such as handset PA and Switches, to high frequency and high performance components, such as broadband amplifiers and 77 GHz automotive radar MMICs” says Simon Yu, general manager and associate vice president of North America and Europe Sales at WIN.

“This alliance is a further step to strengthen our relationship with RF Integration. We are pleased to form such an alliance as we, with RF Integration’s expertise in MMIC designs and WIN’s advanced MMIC manufacturing capabilities, are enabling many levels of our customers (IDM, fab-less, module and system) to turn around their products in rapidly growing markets to meet performance and quality market demands within a short period of time”, continued Simon Yu.
