Since the late sixties, what was to become OMMIC started research in semiconductors. If most of today’s electronics is composed of Silicon (Si) devices, the enhanced performances of compound semiconductors quickly became a matter of course for us.
By creating an alloy of the elements of colums III (B, Al, Ga, In) and V (N, P, As Sb) of the periodic table of the elements, one obtains what is called a III-V compound. Theses semiconductors (such as InP, GaAs and GaN) find wide applications in high-performance radiofrequencies and optoelectronic devices owing to their superior electronic properties including high electron mobility, high saturated velocity and direct (large) band gap.
Our portfolio -focused on millimetre wave (mmW) and Terahertz- includes GaAs pHEMT and mHEMT, InP HBT and GaN.
Having more than 40 years of experience in process development, OMMIC built a wide portfolio of processes using III-V materials. Dedicated to innovation, OMMIC focuses on new technologies with high potential to deliver the best possible performances. Today, OMMIC is the only foundry offering mHEMT processes (D01MH, D007IH, D004IH) in production as much as GaN/Si for RF purposes (D01GH, D006GH).
Our processes are built for high reliability and long life-time as requested by space customers. All our processes are designed, keeping the European Space Agency (ESA) guidelines in mind, with the goal to be space qualified. Today, all our millimetre wave processes are either qualified or being screened.
