Low Noise Amplifiers technology at the MPIfR
Summary
Current work of design, manufactoring and measurement of cryogenic Low Noise Amplifiers of the MPIfR technology group will be presented. As part of a partnership with the IAF, a project has been started to develop cryogenic LNAs - called "Cryo mHEMT Project". Results of completed LNA designs and measurements will be presented. Within the Cryo mHEMT Project a on-wafer prober station was developed at the MPIfR to enable large volume semi-automated cryogenic measurement of noise and S-parameters at cryogenic temperatures. The developed system is capable of characterizing several 100 MMICs and Transistors on-wafer during a single cooling cycle at a temperature of ~12K. The setup of the system and the procedure of the MMIC measurements with the on-wafer prober will be shown.
