Enabling Energy Efficient Solutions

Product Overview

Integrated Passive Devices

Product Description
The High Q™ Integrated Passive Device (IPD) process technology from ON Semiconductor offers a copper on high resistivity silicon platform ideal for the production of passive devices such as baluns, filters, couplers, and diplexers that are used in portable, wireless and RF applications. IPD provides a cost effective solution for RF system in package. A foundry shuttle service is available for engineering prototypes. IPD technology supports fabrication of copper inductors, precision capacitors, and precision resistors in a world-class 200 mm wafer manufacturing facility. Design services are offered for custom applications. A full feature design kit is available to customers for layout, simulation, and verification.
