a new job about SOC or SOP

[Joseph_lee]

Hi Dear Friends;

I am looking for a new job as an RF engineer. I got two opportunities: one is to be an RF transceiver IC desiging engineer and the other is to be an RF LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) module designing engineer. SOC seems the main trend for the whole IC industry, but it is said that RF front-end is difficult, if possible, to be assembled with other blocks of chips and the solution to this problem is system on package (SOP). LTCC is one form of SOP. Would you guys give me some advises?

best regards,

I'm not RF engineer. But based on my pass experiences, an advanced technology might not make you money within 2 to 5 years (maybe longer). Many companies with very advanced technologies failed just because marcket timing was incorrect while some companies with so-so technologies earned big chunks of marcket because they catched right train. This is from financial point of view.


good luck!
