Description
The ATF-10136 is a high performance
gallium arsenide Schottky-barrier-
gate field effect transistor housed in a
cost effective microstrip package. Its
premium noise figure makes this
device appropriate for use in the first
stage of low noise amplifiers operat-
ing in the 0.5-12 GHz frequency range.
This GaAs FET device has a nominal
0.3 micron gate length using airbridge
interconnects between drain fingers.
Total gate periphery is 500 microns.
Proven gold based metallization
systems and nitride passivation
assure a rugged, reliable device.
