austriamicrosystems Further Expands Multi Project Wafer Service for CMOS, High-Voltage, High-Voltage Flash and RF Processes for its Foundry Customers
08:28 05.12.06
More Extensive Prototyping Schedule for High-Voltage CMOS, High-Voltage CMOS Embedded Flash, SiGe-BiCMOS and CMOS Specialty Processes Now Available
UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--austriamicrosystems’ (SWX:AMS) business unit
Full Service Foundry provides a cost-efficient and speedy ASIC
prototyping service by combining several designs from different
customers onto one wafer. This successful approach, known as
Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) or shuttle run, allows to share the costs for
wafer and masks among a number of different customers.
Focused on its advanced 0.35µm High-Voltage
CMOS, High-Voltage CMOS embedded Flash and SiGe-BiCMOS processes,
austriamicrosystems offers a cost-efficient and fast prototyping service
on its specialty processes to foundry customers. Long lasting
co-operations with organizations like CMP-TIMA, Europractice, Fraunhofer
IIS and MOSIS enable austriamicrosystems to offer more than 150 MPW
start dates in 2007. The detailed start dates per process are available
on the web at
http://asic.austriamicrosystems.com/cotaustriamicrosystems’ foundry customers deliver
their completed GDSII-data at specific dates and receive untested
packaged samples or dies within a short lead-time of typically 8 weeks
for CMOS processes and 10 weeks for High-Voltage CMOS, SiGe-BiCMOS and
embedded Flash processes. All MPW-Runs will be produced at
austriamicrosystems’ state-of-the-art 8 inch
wafer fab at its headquarters in Austria.
austriamicrosystems’ MPW service includes the
whole range of processes in 0.35µm geometry
which are based on the 0.35µm CMOS process
transferred from TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company). The
CMOS compatible 0.35µm Silicon-Germanium
BiCMOS technology enables designs of RF circuits with an operating
frequency of up to 10 GHz combined with high-density digital parts on
one single ASIC. The 0.35µm High-Voltage CMOS
process family with a 20V CMOS option, ideally suited for power
management products and display drivers, and a 50V CMOS process,
optimized for automotive and industrial applications serve customers
demand on high-voltage applications and products. The advanced
High-Voltage CMOS process with embedded Flash functionality completes
austriamicrosystems’ MPW service.
