RF, Microwave & Wireless 

Die attach, wire bonding, and hermetic sealing for RF devices where placement, thermal performance, and long-term reliability can't be left to chance, with engineering support from prototype to production.

Telecom, 5G & Datacom

The 5G rollout, with 6G on the horizon, has accelerated development of GaN RF power amplifiers, TOSA/ROSA transceivers, and optical engines. GaN and LDMOS will continue to coexist for years, so many manufacturers need reliable, repeatable processes for both.

How Palomar helps: 
  • GaN silver sinter, GaN AuSn, and LDMOS AuSi eutectic die attach on one platform
  • High-accuracy die placement and fine wire bonding for dense packages
  • Processes designed to reduce cycle time and cost in production
  • Fixed height bond lines for high-aspect ratio die

Military, Aerospace & High-Reliability

Radar, LiDAR, electronic warfare systems, aerial and IR thermal cameras, and RF and microwave power modules are increasingly built on GaN. They are packed into smaller form factors and expected to survive harsh environments. Requirements can also change quickly, so development speed matters as much as reliability.

How Palomar helps: 
  • Rapid process development for evolving programs
  • Bond-level process data to support traceability
  • High-vacuum hermetic and glass-to-metal sealing
  • Precision die attach and wire bonding
