FABRICATING INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

摘要

A millimeter wave integrated circuit (MIC) includes both low power components and high power components, e.g. Gunn diodes, disposed on a common semi-insulating semi-conductor substrate. Each high power component is formed in an active epitaxial layer and is provided with a heat sink comprising a thermally conductive material deposited in an opening in the back of the substrate below the compound. The low power components are isolated by an implanted proton layer.
