“…is particularly sensitive to the total on chip gate width (including field-effect transistor (FET) devices and FET-like diodes) and Manuscript to the number of via holes [2]. The evaluation of requires calculations based on process fluctuations and bears statistical and modeling problems described and solved in [2]. From these considerations, the following strategy for developing mass-producible MMIC TIA's was deduced.…”

“…The total onchip gate width was reduced to less than 1.4 mm and only three via holes were used. With data from [2] (a 97% dc yield was assumed for via holes on 200-m-thick chips), the predicted was 79.9%, (to be compared with 66% of [6]). Fig.…”

“…However, this system is inadequate to develop prototypes of mass producible circuits, since the constraints (minimize size and maximize yield) for a low-cost fabrication are not taken into account. The overall MMIC yield is a product of factors [2], the most important of which are the dc yield and the parametric [or radio frequency (RF)] yield . is particularly sensitive to the total on chip gate width (including field-effect transistor (FET) devices and FET-like diodes) and Manuscript to the number of via holes [2].…”

A full design approach for developing very highspeed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC's) to be economically produced in large quantities is described. As an application example, the letter reports design, experimental performances, yield, and size data for a 5-Gb/s MMIC TIA using a low-cost 0.5-m GaAs field-effect transistor (FET) technology, showing outstanding experimental performances and optimized for a large-volume industrial production.
