Foundry Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (Migdal Haemek, Israel) has started producing Wi-Fi 7 RF front-end modules (FEM) for Broadcom Inc. monolithically using its latest RFSOI manufacturing process.
By integrating the power amplifier (transmit) with the low-noise amplifier (receive) as well as other signal conditioning circuitry Tower is able to eliminate signal losses from propagating signals between separate dies. The the high-resistivity SOI substrate also enhances PA efficiency by supporting passive elements such as inductors with a higher quality factor.
