Description and Applications

The MA4E2502 SURMOUNT^TM Series Diodes are Silicon Low, Medium, and High Barrier Schottky

Devices fabricated with the patented Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (HMIC) process.

HMIC circuits consist of Silicon pedestals which form diodes or via conductors embedded in a glass dielectric, which acts as the low dispersion, micro strip transmission medium. The combination of silicon and glass allows HMIC devices to have excellent loss and power dissipation characteristics in a low profile, reliable device.

Features
