0.971W, 122GHz, MICROWAVE ALUMINUM NITRIDE THIN FILM CHIP RESISTORS USM RG1500AN FEATURES More power dissipation than Al2O3 version while working up to 200GHz range frequencies Low insertion loss High reliability and ruggedness Small chip size with reduced stray capacitance per unit area. Low temperature coefficient and wide operating temperature range. APPLICATIONS Applications of this series of chip resistors include microwave and RF high power terminations, resistive microwave power dividers, Wilkinson power dividers , power attenuators, microwave power amplifiers. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND SHORT APPLICATION NOTE USM RG1500AN-XXXW-YYYGHz chip resistors are designed to be used in chip and wire hybrid circuits as microwave and RF resistors, terminations, Wilkinson power dividers, attenuators, microwave amplifiers, for biasing of active components and as feedback resistors for high speed transimpedance amplifiers for optical communication receivers, etc. To attain very low capacitance to ground, these chip resistors are manufactured on 10 mils ALN ceramic substrates and do not have backside metallization. These series of chip resistors and terminations have low temperature coefficients, low noise and increased long term stability compared to their thick film counterpart (see app note 110 /appnotes/thin_film_resistors_versus_thick_film_resistors_how_they_compare_usm_app_note110.htm). TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION: SEMICONDUCTOR-THIN FILM MANUFACTURING All thin film microwave products are manufactured using advanced semiconductors and thin film technologies including ultra-stable and self passivating Tantalum Nitride resistors, gold interconnect metallization and reliable MNOS capacitors to achieve excellent uniformity, performance and reliability. Thin film technology is the preferred solution for all applications that require low noise, long term stability and excellent performance at very high frequencies. US Microwaves employs proprietary thin film technologies for deposition of a wide range of resistive films with sheet resistance films from 1W/sq to 10,000W/sq. All US Microwaves products are available in die form and are ideal for high reliability hybrid and multi chip module applications.
