How to obtain austriamicrosystems (AMS) Design Rules and Technology
Files through MOSIS.
AMS Design Rules, Process Specifications, SPICE Parameters, and
Technology Files
austriamicrosystems' design rules, process specifications, and SPICE
corner parameters are available from MOSIS. SPICE parameters may be
used as design references, but no quantity derived from a simulation
should be treated as a manufacturing tolerance. austriamicrosystems
considers their design rules, process specifications, and SPICE corner
parameters to be proprietary.
An online description of the
contents of the HIT-Kits is available from austriamicrosystems.
-
To obtain them through MOSIS, you must have a
commercial
account with MOSIS. Current MOSIS commercial account holders can
start on step 2.
-
Execute the following agreements:
-
Two copies of each agreement, all with original signatures should be
sent to:
-
-
MOSIS
Attn: New Account Manager
4676 Admiralty Way
7th Floor
Marina del Rey CA 90292-6695
-
MOSIS will deliver them to austriamicrosystems.
-
austriamicrosystems will then countersign and return to you a fully
executed set. Your copy of the countersigned CDA will contain a
unique Confidentiality Agreement (CA) number on the bottom left corner
on the last page. You will need this CA number for the next step
(online registration).
-
Upon receipt from austriamicrosystems of a Confidentiality Agreement
(CA) number, complete the
austriamicrosystems online registration form.
-
After you register online, contact
support@mosis.com that you have
done so. Be sure to indicate your choice of either the
Cadence Hit-Kit, or the Mentor Hit-Kit. We will then mail the
requested data, on DVD, to your account address of record.
-
The DVD installation requires an installation key. Return to the
ASIC web site, and
select License File Generation. You will be prompted for your User
Name and Password. Use your austriamicrosystems user name and
password, not your MOSIS User Name and Password.
You can then obtain updates and patches from the
austriamicrosystems web site.
Access to the austriamicrosystems technical web server
ASIC and the HitKit
from MOSIS will be enabled only after you complete the
austriamicrosystems online registration form.
Special Instructions For Academic Institutions
The DVDs do not have pcell support already included. When
universities request them, MOSIS will enable them for mixed-signal
access and ftp them the pcells directories. The university then
install these directories and regenerates licenses to obtain
mixed-signal licenses. This does not apply for
non-universities.
Academic institutions must also provide the
Academic Account
Document Access Application, in additional to the forms and
agreements described above. The Academic Account Document Access
Application contains the following:
-
Account Information
-
Fabrication Plan
-
Account Liaison NDA
-
List of students, staff, and other faculty that have signed the
individual NDA.
Additionally, a Mini-Proposal
may be requested of the academic institution.
