Atlanta, GA., July 21, 2006 - Jacket Micro Devices Inc., a technology leader in integrated RF modules for the wireless industry, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 7,068,124 - "Integrated Passive Devices Fabricated Utilizing Multi-layer Organic Laminates". This patent was awarded to JMD's founders for their invention of a key technology used in JMD's Multi-Layer Organic (MLO) packaging and module production process. This enabling technology allows JMD to create the industry's smallest and highest performance modules for the emerging broadband wireless applications such as 802.11n and 802.16e.
"This invention embodies for the first time an organic device that is realized through the design and fabrication of the highest quality "Q" factor passive components which can be integrated in a multilayer organic printed circuit board. We are excited to see the fruits of years of research into advanced packaging technology we began at Georgia Tech", stated Dr. George White, JMD founder and CTO. "Integrated passive devices using these techniques are able to meet the specifications of cavity and LTCC filters with equivalent or better performance in smaller footprints. These devices also include side shielding in the SMD, BGA and chip scale package configurations", Dr. White added.
