Company Microtune, Inc.

Manufacturing

As part of its quality manufacturing process, Microtune tests and qualifies its silicon products before releasing them to mass production. The company has invested significantly in equipment and top-notch test engineering talent to develop the test programs for production, qualification and characterization, ensuring the quality, performance and reliability of its RF silicon portfolio.

Silicon Manufacturing: Fabless Manufacturing

Microtune outsources semiconductor wafer fabrication and packaging to multiple manufacturers that specialize in leading-edge process technologies such as Silicon Germanium (SiGe). These manufacturers employ the latest equipment and packaging to support the company’s high-volume production and yield objectives.

Microtune leverages a fabless business model to produce manufacturing flexibility and economies. Its fabless operations, coupled with proven core competencies in RF component design and testing, permit the delivery of an IC product line characterized by high quality and superior price/performance. At the same time, Microtune’s fabless operations help meet customer volume expectations, while driving the continued consolidation and cost-reduction of its silicon products.

RoHS-Compliant Silicon Tuners

Microtune offers a RoHS-compliant packaging option across its entire silicon tuner product line. These RF-integrated circuits are manufactured with RoHS-compliant assembly processes and compounds. Using alternative alloys and materials, these silicon packages now offer the same size, electrical/mechanical characteristics, performance and reliability of MicroTuner tuner chips produced with older style packages. The company has worked closely with its vendors to assure compliance with RoHS legislation.

Module Manufacturing

Microtune outsources its products to high-volume offshore manufacturing subcontractors whose extended manufacturing services have enabled the Company to produce cost-optimized, quality-driven RF module subsystems.

Quality Assurance

As part of its Quality commitment, Microtune has implemented internal quality assurance policies and procedures, beginning at the product design stage, that ensure the quality, testability and reliability of its products.

Microtune has adopted precise design methodologies, closely linked with production, to prototype its parts. It engages in extensive simulation and reliability testing before the release of prototypes to high-volume manufacturing. During manufacturing, product monitoring continues to ensure that the highest level quality is maintained.

The company also employs state-of-the-art Oracle software and global communications systems and networks to streamline internal processes and to facilitate customer communications.
