In Collaboration with GLOBALFOUNDRIES,
Peregrine Completes Product and Process Qualification for Its
Advanced RF SOI Technology
Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: PSMI), founder of RF SOI
(silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions,
announces shipment of the first RF switches built on the UltraCMOS
10 technology platform. With partner GLOBALFOUNDRIES, the company
also announces the completion of product and process qualification
for the advanced RF SOI technology.
Introduced in October 2013, UltraCMOS 10 technology provides
smartphone manufacturers with unparalleled performance and
flexibility. The 130 nm technology combines the performance of
UltraCMOS technology with the economies of SOI, and it delivers a
more than 50-percent performance improvement over comparable
solutions. The advanced technology addresses the unique growth
requirements for mobile applications and is the foundation for
Peregrine’s next-generation RF switches, tuners and power
amplifiers, including the industry’s first reconfigurable RF front
end, UltraCMOS Global 1.
“UltraCMOS 10 technology builds on Peregrine’s 25 year legacy of
providing high-performance, integrated RF solutions,” says Mark
Miscione, vice president of RF technology solutions at Peregrine
Semiconductor. “Our technology platform was created to advance the
future of RF design with a comprehensive SOI solution. Peregrine is
pleased to ship the first of our UltraCMOS 10 switches.”
To develop UltraCMOS 10 technology, Peregrine collaborated with
GLOBALFOUNDRIES, a tier-one foundry and leading provider of
semiconductor manufacturing technology. Together, the companies
co-developed a unique fabrication flow for the versatile RF SOI
platform. With the qualification process complete, UltraCMOS 10
technology is now a fully qualified technology platform.
“Peregrine Semiconductor has proven to be an excellent partner
for GLOBALFOUNDRIES,” says KC Ang, senior vice president and
general manager of Singapore operations at GLOBALFOUNDRIES.
“Peregrine has a strong history of innovation and performance
leadership, and we believe this trend will continue with the
co-developed UltraCMOS 10 technology, the highest performance RF
SOI technology in existence.”
