The paper titled "HBT Modelling and X-Band Differential LNA Design with 0.25 µm SiGe-C BiCMOS Process" prepared by the design team of TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Semiconductor Technologies Laboratory (YİTAL) was awarded the best paper award at the "22nd International Mediterranean Microwave Symposium 2023" conference.

The paper on the modelling of HBT transistor technology with a cut-off frequency of 120 GHz and the design of a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for X-band applications using the model was written by Volkan Fenercioğlu, Engin Çağdaş, Hüseyin Anıktar from the YİTAL design team and Osman Palamutçuoğulları, YİTAL consultant.

TÜBİTAK BİLGEM YİTAL design and production teams have developed a unique 0.25 µm 5-metal SiGe BiCMOS technology. Thanks to this technology, the transceiver modules of the X-band radars used in Türkiye, which enable the detection of very small targets by operating at high frequency and low wavelength, will be produced domestically.

We sincerely congratulate all BİLGEM employees who contributed to the development of this technology and the paper award.
