Executive Brief
MICAS TECHNOLOGY LIMITED is a high-growth leader in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) sector, specifically focused on 5G/6G ORAN small cell infrastructure and UHF satellite test equipment. Their technical core revolves around managing high-bandwidth, high-frequency signals where thermal density and signal integrity are the primary engineering bottlenecks.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 92/100
Why this Score? MICAS operates at the bleeding edge of mmWave frequencies (24GHz to 100GHz+). At these frequencies, RF power amplifiers (PAs) generate extreme heat in small footprints (small cells). Conventional cooling (Copper/AlN) cannot prevent thermal throttling in compact ORAN units. 6C's PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) is the industry standard for GaN-on-Diamond integration and high-power RF thermal management, which is essential for MICAS to maintain their "internationally leading" status.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| mmWave Small Cells | PCD Heat Spreaders (Thermal Grade) | Thermal conductivity >2000 W/mK. Reduces junction temperatures of GaN/GaAs RF PAs by 30-50%, increasing device lifespan and signal range. |
| 6G R&D / Satellite Tech | GaN-on-Diamond Integration | Direct growth or bonding of PCD to GaN wafers. Enables 3x power density vs. GaN-on-SiC, critical for 6G bandwidth requirements. |
| UHF Test Equipment | Diamond RF Windows & Dielectrics | Ultra-low dielectric loss tangent (tan δ < 10-4) at mmWave frequencies. Provides unmatched signal transparency for high-precision testing. |
| Supply Chain Autonomy | Custom MPCVD System Build | MICAS emphasizes "independent and controllable" equipment. 6C can provide a turnkey MPCVD reactor for MICAS to develop in-house diamond-semiconductor recipes. |
| Satellite Communication | SCD (Single Crystal) Components | High radiation hardness and thermal stability for satellite-based UHF transceivers and high-bandwidth vacuum electronic devices (VEDs). |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "As MICAS pushes further into the 6G spectrum where power density exceeds the limits of SiC substrates, how are you addressing the 'Thermal Wall' in your ORAN small cell architectures to prevent signal degradation?"
- Value Statement: "6C can help MICAS double the power output of your mmWave transceivers by replacing standard ceramic heat sinks with 6C Polycrystalline Diamond, the highest thermal conductivity material on earth."
