IBM 10SF CMOS Process
65 Nanometer (65 nm)


If your design will be used for production, i.e. non-MPW, please read the IBM policy described in "Checking and Error Disposition Strategy for IBM Designs."


  1. Process Description
    MOSIS is offering access to the IBM 65 nm CMOS 10SF technology for prototype and low volume fabrication. C4 (IBM's flip chip bumping) is available at an additional cost.

    MOSIS offers this CMOS process as 8 metal layers (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, BA, BB) plus LB (transfer) to DV (glass cut). This is the IBM "9LB_6_02_00_00" stack, with six thin metals over low-K dielectric, two thick metals ("2x") over TEOS/FTEOS dielectric, and no "4x" metals. Supply voltages are 1.0 V core and 1.8, 2.5 V I/O.

    10SF Supported Options
    Please refer to the list of 10SF Supported Options page for the options available by default on MOSIS MPW runs in this technology.

    Other configurations are available for dedicated runs, or on MPW runs by prior arrangement. Please contact MOSIS support for additional details, e.g. costs.

    Four Gate Oxide Thicknesses Available
    Although there are four gate oxide thickness options, only three can be present in any one design, and DG and TG are mutually exclusive.

    1.25 nm (thin) FETs LVT, RVT, HVT

    Vdd Max 1.0 V

    2.2 nm (intermediate) FETs EG (high-speed I/O FETs)

    Vdd 1.2 V
    1.5 V

    5.2 nm (thick) FETs DG (regular I/O FETs)

    Vdd 1.8 V
    2.5 V
    3.3 V1

    6.8 nm (also called thick) FETs TG (TG FETs)

    Vdd 3.3 V1

    1 This device can only be fabricated at one of IBM's foundries. All other devices can be fabricated at any one of the Common Platform (CP) foundries. The CP is a collaboration between IBM and several other foundries to provide advanced feature size fabrication. Irrespective of which foundry is used, the designer can be assured that their parts will behave as if they were fabricated at IBM.

    Design Considerations
    To insure that submitted data is on a 5 nm grid, please stream-out at 1 DBU = 5 nm (Cadence 0.005, not 0.001).
    MOSIS does not fill for IBM processes. Designs for IBM runs must meet the IBM fill requirements when submitted.


  2. IBM Design Rules, Process Specifications, SPICE Parameters, and Cell Libraries
    IBM has sub-licensed MOSIS to distribute this information to customers who have signed both the MOSIS customer agreement and the IBM Design Kit License Agreement.

    The CAD tool support files, DRC and LVS decks, simulation files, cell libraries, and files listed on the IBM CMOS Design Kits page are the only kits and files available.

    Design rules supported by this technology
    Only the IBM design rules will be supported for this technology.

    MOSIS Technology Codes
    The technology code for the 10SF process is IBM_10SF.
