Abstract: A capacitor element on a chip, e.g., a MMIC chip, includes a main capacitor in parallel with a series configuration of trimming capacitors. The total capacitance value of the parallel arrangement can be increased from its inherently minimum value by applying one or more laser pulses to one or more of the trimming capacitors, such that in each case a short-circuit is produced between the metallization layer to which the pulses are applied and the other metallization layer making up the trimming capacitor.

At least some of the ports and/or microstrip lines in the integrated circuit have a removable, reflection-free termination which is integrated on the chip. The integrated circuit is produced in a first step, with at least some of the ports and/or microstrip lines in the integrated circuit being provided with a removable, reflection-free termination which is integrated on the chip, and in a second step for this termination to be removed from a prescribable selection of the ports and/or microstrip lines.

Abstract: A balancing network has three planar lines which are coupled together. One end of the first line which runs between the second and the third line acts as an unbalanced gate. The opposite end of the first line is connected to earth, and one end of each of the other two lines forms a balanced gate. The balancing network is decoupled from the direct current source. The ends of the second and third lines, which do not act as gates, are capacitively coupled with one another.

Abstract: On a circuit-board intended for constant-wire-length (CWL) bonding, one or more special “test” pairs of bonding pads are provided along with, in each case, a series of markings adjacent the pads. In use, the board is populated with CWL bonds (this includes the normal circuit-related RF bond-pads as well as the test bond-pads) and the test bonds are distorted so that the bond-wires in question lie aligned against the markings. The alignment position relative to the markings indicates whether the bond-wires for the whole board are of correct or incorrect length. Measurement may be either absolute, in which case the markings are associated with a scale indication, or relative, in which case one of the markings will usually be visibly distinguished from the rest in some way. Depending on the length determination, the bond-forming device (e.g.
