Design And Test


A variety of design flows (digital, analog, mixed-signal) can be used with a number of different CAD tools, technology files, design kits, libraries and IP to create designs for processes accessed by MOSIS.


Design Kits
Analog/mixed-signal design kits, technology files, etc. (see design kit summary) that support Cadence, Mentor, Synopsys and Tanner tools. Except where noted, these are distributed free of charge and are made available (other than austriamicrosystems) through our document server after signature of the MOSIS customer agreement and the vendor required agreements.

Design Rules
Vendor design rules, SPICE models, etc. are available for each process. MOSIS provides electrical test data and SPICE parameters from MOSIS measurements on most MPW (multiproject wafer) runs. Projects submitted to MOSIS for fabrication can be designed using either the vendor's native design rules (specific to a process) or (for some processes) the SCMOS vendor-independent, scalable rules. These rule sets cannot be mixed within a design. SCMOS kits, cells, and technology files are available.

Standard Cells
Standard cell libraries enabling synthesis to place and route design flows are available for selected processes.

ARM (was Artisan) offers free digital standard cell libraries, I/Os (pads), and memory generators to commercial firms for the IBM 65 nm (10SF, 10LPe) 90 nm (9SF, 9LP, and 9RF), IBM 0.13 micron (8RF-DM, 8RF-LM), and IBM 0.18 micron (7RF) processes; the TSMC 0.13 micron (CL013G and CR013G/CM013G). 0.18 micron (CL018 and CR018/CM018), and 0.25 micron (CL025 and CR025/CM025) processes.

For more information from ARM, see
ARM has also sublicensed MOSIS to support universities for these libraries.

MOSIS Process Control Monitor
The MOSIS Process Control Monitor (PCM) is included on most MOSIS runs. Lot-specific parametric results and SPICE device model parameters are extracted from PCM measurements on wafers probed by MOSIS.
