ANADIGICS Announces In-House Multi-Chip Module Manufacturing of HBT Power Amplifiers for Wireless Market.Business/Technology Editors WARREN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2000 In-house pilot line for sample and pre-production module manufacturing shortens time to market for advanced PA modules ANADIGICS (Nasdaq: ANAD ANAD Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders ANAD National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders ANAD Anniston Army Depot ANAD Asociación Nacional de Abogados Democráticos (National Association of Democratic Lawyers, Mexico) ), a leading supplier of wireless and broadband communications solutions, today announced that the Company has developed a pilot manufacturing line for multi-chip module A Multi-Chip Module or MCM is a specialized electronic package where multiple integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductor dies or other modules are packaged in such a way as to facilitate their use as a single IC. assembly. Located in ANADIGICS' state-of-the-art 6-inch manufacturing facility, the module manufacturing line is operational for sample and pre-production quantities of highly integrated RF modules. The development of in-house module assembly enables ANADIGICS to dramatically reduce design cycle times, thereby increasing design cycles of learning and shortening time shortening time n. an order of the court in response to the motion of a party to a lawsuit which allows setting a motion or other legal matter at a time shorter than provided by law or court rules. to market for highly integrated wireless and cable products. ANADIGICS' in-house module assembly line is currently engaged in the development of InGaP HBT HBT Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor HBT HyCult Biotechnology (Uden, The Netherlands) HBT Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (interferometer) HBT Herring Bone Twill HBT Heflex Bioengineering Test power amplifier modules for GSM, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. , and TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) A satellite and cellular phone technology that interleaves multiple digital signals onto a single high-speed channel. For cellular, TDMA triples the capacity of the original analog method (FDMA). standards, as well as advanced cable tuner modules for use in broadband digital cable systems. "We have received a strong demand for samples of our multi-chip module products from the major manufacturers of wireless handsets, as well as broadband cable device manufacturers," remarked Dr. Bami Bastani, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of ANADIGICS, Inc. "As we move from the sample phase to pre-production for our HBT power amplifiers and cable tuner modules, this in-house module manufacturing capability provides the engine to support evaluation of our products and to secure new design wins." "Module technology is a key driver for the development of highly integrated, highly efficient solutions that reduce overall form factor and shorten time to market," said Bruce Diamond, Senior Vice President of Operations at ANADIGICS, Inc. "ANADIGICS' in-house multi-chip module line shortens module assembly cycle time to hours, instead of weeks, enabling us to evaluate new packaging technology quickly and provide our customers with highly advanced solutions."
