10LPe CMOS Process


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 10LPe technology for prototype and low volume fabrication. This is the low-power variant of the IBM 65 nm CMOS 10SF technology. 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 1.2/1.5 V core and 1.8 V I/O.

    10LPe Supported Options

    Please refer to the List of 10LPe 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. Other configurations are available for dedicated runs.

    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 10LPe Process is IBM_10LPE.
