STMicroelectronics signs agreement on Innogration LDMOS technology

STMicroelectronics, a global company serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has signed a licence and cooperation agreement on LDMOS RF power technology from Innogration Technologies — a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Suzhou, China, specialising in the design and manufacturing of RF power semiconductor devices, modules and subsystem assemblies.

Combining a short conduction-channel length with a high breakdown voltage, LDMOS devices are suitable for RF power amplifiers where they can be used in base stations for wireless communications systems, as well as in the power amplifiers for commercial and industrial systems. The agreement with Innogration expands the range of applications that ST can address with LDMOS technology.

Terms of the agreements were not disclosed.
