Win offers a range of leading-edge processes, including 0.15um-gate-length PHEMT and InGaP HBT, and was the world's first 6in pure-play GaAs foundry.
Robert Donahue, VP of Sales and Marketing with Win, comments: "We needed an independent design house with extensive experience of GaAs MMIC design on a wide range of processes, as well as proven capability with using Win's processes".
"Plextek meet all of these requirements and have impressed us with their professionalism in dealing with Win foundry customers".
To date Plextek has designed over 30 full custom GaAs ICs, all of which were first-pass design successes.
Liam Devlin, Director of RF Integration with Plextek comments: "The fact that Win's processes use 6in-diameter wafers, combined with the ability to run a four-shift system, allows Win to offer a truly mass production capability for GaAs MMICs, which is very attractive to many of our existing and prospective clients".
"We're very pleased that Win has selected Plextek and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship".
