Bulk acoustic wave RF filter foundry spans 1.6GHz to 7GHz, with plans for 20GHz

Using 150mm silicon substrates, its process, XB1, covers 1.6 to 7GHz and can handle up to 4W CW (continuously) – plus it has XP3F in the pipleline aimed at 7 to 20GHz handling 2W CW – both offer metal-metal capacitors.

The company’s “automated PDKs [process design kits] leveraging machine learning algorithms” and “enable customers to construct intricate designs and optimise their end solutions”, said Akoustis.

“Back-end services will be driven by GDSI, with services including wafer dicing, wafer pick-and-place, back grinding and polishing.”
