Processing
At LNF, we manufacture our own semiconductor chips in a world-class cleanroom environment equipped with the most advanced semiconductor processing tools. What truly sets LNF apart from other companies is our in-house fabrication process, which is specially optimized to ensure the optimal performance of our cryogenic low-noise amplifiers. Over the past two decades, our dedicated research and development efforts in the cleanroom have equipped us with invaluable expertise, enabling us to refine our techniques and stay at the forefront of innovation. This deep knowledge base, combined with our relentless commitment to continuous improvement, ensures that every new generation of amplifiers operates with unparalleled efficiency and performance, maintaining a competitive edge in the industry.
Our deep expertise in semiconductor device physics, coupled with our proficiency in cleanroom processing, gives us a unique opportunity to drive exploration and innovation in the field. Through successful collaborations with university and industry partners, we have built a robust network of scientific collaborators and published several research papers.
Our deep understanding of material science and cryogenic conditions allows us to continually push the boundaries of LNAs’ performance by optimizing the structure of the epitaxial wafers used in our processing. Fine-tuning each layer in our epitaxial wafer design has resulted in outstanding LNA performance.
Access to the state-of-the-art electron beam and laser lithography tools enables us to achieve unparalleled precision at the nanometer scale. This advanced technology allows for fabricating intricate, high-performance transistors with gate lengths below 50 nm.
Our in-house MMIC process allows us to tailor it for specialized custom applications or integrate it with other technologies. This adaptability allows us to meet the specific requirements of diverse projects, ensuring optimal performance and seamless integration for a wide range of applications.
Reliability and quality assurance
Each new wafer’s MMICs undergo stringent checks to ensure reliability and quality before being released for LNA production. We examine chips using advanced microscopy techniques and harsh reliability tests, ultimately guaranteeing the durability and longevity of our semiconductor devices.
Low Noise Factory’s technology achieves big things while being extremely small.
We have a vision. To make, and further develop, some of the most advanced pieces of technology the world has seen. To achieve this, we brought together a team with the finest talent and expertise. We share the love for continuing on the same path forward!
