Keysight and WIN Semiconductors collaborate to cut design risk for high frequency RF components. June 30, 2026 Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) and WIN Semiconductors Corp. today announced a joint MMIC design workflow that enables GaN MMIC design houses to achieve first pass tapeout success. The workflow connects on-chip multi-domain simulation, 3D layout with verifications and off-chip MMIC evaluation board design into a single environment. It supports the growing number of companies developing GaN MMICs for 5G base stations, Wi-Fi access points, satellite payloads and defense radar systems. A failed tapeout can mean weeks lost to another foundry respin. The new workflow automates the full set of simulation, optimization and verification steps required to sign off on an MMIC design, ensuring no analysis is skipped before the design is submitted to the foundry for fabrication.

The workflow lets engineers design and optimize these on-chip and off-chip components together, so that performance meets specifications as verified with test equipment. With the global GaN RF device market projected to reach $2.77 billion by 2031, MMIC design houses that cannot prove performance on the...
