UMS at IMS2026: Technology, Training and 30 years of Innovation

United Monolithic Semiconductors (UMS) is proud to participate in IMS 2026, the world’s premier RF and microwave event, taking place this June in Washington, D.C. As we celebrate 30 years of technological excellence, we are bringing our strongest presence yet — from breakthrough product demonstrations to expert technical contributions and a dedicated foundry training session.

Visitors will find UMS at Booth #17075, where our team will showcase the latest advances in our product portfolio, including exciting updates on our recently launched GH10‑10 technology. Designed to push the boundaries of GaN performance, GH10‑10 represents a major step forward for high‑frequency, high‑efficiency applications across defense, space, telecom, and emerging mmW markets.

Meet us on the Showfloor

On booth #17075 we will showcase some of our latest products. Our team of experts is there to discuss with you how our state-of-the art RF technology can help you achieve your goals.

If you want to prebook a meeting with one of our experts on site, please use our dedicated meeting request form.

Technical Expertise on Stage: UMS Speakers at IMS2026

UMS is contributing to the IMS Technical Program with two expert speakers:

9 June 13:50 –14:10 GH10-10 Nonlinear Thermal Model Capability & 3W SatComHPA

Samira Bouzid-Driad

This paper provides a deep overview of the thermal behavior of 0.1-µm GaN HEMTs technology. As an intermediary between the device HEMT process and the MMIC circuit, the electrical model plays a crucial role in the design accuracy. It should predict the device’s features and parasitic phenomena impact. The technology performance versus the temperature will be first discussed with a focus on the high nonlinear model accuracy reached on the transistor and on the MMIC HPAs demonstrated at UMS up to V-Band

Authors: Samira Bouzid-Driad, Frederic Drillet, Christophe Chang, Manfred Madel, Kimon Vivien, Laurent Brunel, Romain Pecheux, Herve Blanck, Valeria Di Giacomo-Brunel

11 June 12:00 –13:30:  RFTT: Will ML/AI really change our approach to device modelling and circuit design?

Valeria Di Giacomo Brunel (Panel discussion)

Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing microwave circuit design, just as it is transforming other scientific and industrial domains. The growing number of published research papers demonstrates that the microwave community is actively embracing AI and ML across a wide spectrum of applications—from novel device modeling to virtual data generation, data management, and advanced EDA tools for circuit optimization. New commercial solutions for ML-assisted circuit design, already offer first-pass, fully automated layout generation, multi-objective optimization, and seamless multi-platform integration from device to system level….

Panelists: David Danzilio, Valeria Di Giacomo Brunel, Alexander Petr, Giorgia Zucchelli, Eduard Heidebrecht, Kaushik Sengupta

Special Event: UMS Foundry Training Session (3 Hours)

In conjunction with IMS 2026, UMS is hosting a special 3‑hour Foundry Training Session designed for engineers, researchers, and project leaders who want to deepen their understanding of our GaAs and GaN technologies, PDKs, and design workflows.

Date: Monday, June 8

Time: 14:00 – 17:00

Location: Renaissance Hotel – Atlantic Meeting Room

Registration: Free, limited seats

The session includes contributions from UMS, Cadence, and Keysight, covering:

• UMS Foundry Flow
• GaN & GaAs processes for RF and mmW
• Device modeling advantages
• ADS and AWR design environments with UMS PDKs
• From design to tested & packaged product
• A virtual cleanroom visit

This is a unique opportunity to gain hands‑on insights directly from the teams who build and support UMS technologies.

Our Technology at display with RFPD Richardson

In addition to the latest UMS products on display on our booth #17075, you can also find some of our most recent innovation at RPFD Richardson’s booth #12070.

Celebrating 30 Years of UMS: Join Our Happy Hour

2026 marks a major milestone for UMS — 30 years of innovation, collaboration, and customer success. To celebrate, we invite all IMS attendees to join us for a special UMS Happy Hour:

📅 Tuesday, June 9

⏰ starting 17:00

📍 Location: UMS Booth 17075

It will be an informal moment to connect with our team, partners, and customers, share insights, and celebrate three decades of technological achievement.
