Originally spun out of Honeywell, the firms TLC - Telecommunication Low Phase Noise Components at Millimeter-Wave Frequencies - is a rapidly growing high technology company that develops, manufactures and tests high quality, III-V materials and Millimeter-Wave Monolithic Integrated Circuits (MMICs 9 GHz to 100 GHz) products for both commercial and government applications. TLC was established to advance semiconductor technology through the use of Gallium Arsenide and Indium Phosphide, instead of silicon. TLC started initially with one epitaxial-wafer reactor and one employee. Through the nineties, multiple teams worked with and transferred, from Honeywell Corp. and Lockheed Martin, a series of millimeter-wave technology capabilities and equipment. This includes advanced epi-wafer structures, circuit design, MMIC fab, and assembly technologies and the manufacturing equipment to TLC. Through a range of government and commercial research and development contracts, TLC has produced and patented a series of innovative epi-wafers, a family of millimeter MMIC chips, modules and special radar transceiver products and processes for commercial and military telecommunication, radar and automotive markets. These products and capabilities readily support small and major military and commercial companies' millimeter-wave radar, communication and electro-optical systems. Since 1991, TLC has achieved a number of significant milestones. * Developed the world's first ultra-low-noise junction field effect transistor at four degrees Kelvin. * Developed the world's first MBE GaAs metal insulator semiconductor field effect transistor enhancement-mode circuit. * Received technology transfers and equipment from Honeywell Inc. and Lockheed-Martin. * World's first continuous linear MMW phase modulator * TLC O-Chip, the World's most versatile MMW chip
