2MAFx – Series

Home   |   Product Categories   |   Schottky Barrier Diodes   |   Varistor Diodes   |   2MAFx – Series

Type 2MAFx family of structures are fabricated by ACST Film-Diode (FD) Process. FD-Structures are implemented on a transferred membraneSubstrate, which is just few µm thin and of a low dielectric constant insulator. This allows for a drastic reduction of structure parasitic and, therefore, aims at ultimate performance at MM/SubMM-Waves. Opticallytransparent membrane-substrate allows for accurate positioning for diode mounting/assembly.
The 2MAFx structure represents two anti-parallel Schottky diodes, optimised for operation in varistor mode.

Application Areas:

  • Sub-Harmonically-Pumped Frequency Mixers
  • Wideband Frequency Multipliers

Product Features:

  • Strongly Reduced Shunt (pad-to-pad) Capacitance
  • Low Junction Capacitance
  • Low RF Series Resistance
  • Suitable for Flip-Chip Mounting Approach
  • Structure Geometry Optimised for Sub/MM-Waves Applications
