0.50 Micron

5DM SiGe BiCMOS Process



This process is available on taxi and dedicated runs (also known as COT or Customer Owned Tooling). It is not listed on the MOSIS Multi-Project Wafer Run Schedule.

IBM considers taxi runs as MPW. Designs approved for fabrication on taxi runs may not pass the more stringent design checks required for IBM production runs. See "Checking and Error Disposition Strategy for IBM Designs."

  1. Process Description

    MOSIS is offering access to the IBM 0.50 micron SiGe BiCMOS 5DM technology for prototype and low volume fabrication. C4 (IBM's flip chip bumping) is subject to availability at additional cost. Advance notice required: contact support@mosis.com.

    This SiGe BiCMOS process has 5 metal (M1+M2+MT+E1+MA) and 1 poly layers, supports MiM (H3/Q3 to MT, nitride).

    5DM Supported Options

    Please refer to the List of 5DM Supported Options page for the options available on MOSIS MPW runs in this technology. You may not submit a design containing any options or metals stack which are not listed here without prior arrangement with MOSIS. The stacked MiM option in this process also allows for single MiMs to be fabricated: you do not need to contact MOSIS about this.

    While the process is capable of up to 6 metal layers, we offer 5 on multi-project runs. Other configurations are available for dedicated runs.

    Design Considerations

    To insure that submitted data is on a 25 nm grid, please stream-out at 1 DBU = 25 nm (Cadence 0.025, 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 SiGe 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 5DM process is IBM_5DM.
