5HP/5AM SiGe BiCMOS Process
IBM Semiconductor 0.50 Micron
Information vital to preparing and submitting a design for fabrication in this process has been posted to the MOSIS Secure Document Server.
All users must read the checking procedures and density requirements described in this document.
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."
Process Family Description
MOSIS is offering access to the IBM 0.50 micron SiGe BiCMOS 5HP technology for prototype and low volume fabrication. C4 (IBM's flip chip bumping) is subject to availability at additional cost. Advance notice required. Please submit your inquiry through the MOSIS Support System.5HP Process
This SiGe BiCMOS process has 3 metal (M1+M2+LM) and 1 poly layers, supports MiM (Q2 to M2).
- 5HP Supported Options
Please refer to the List of 5HP 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.
While the process is capable of up to 5 metal layers, we offer 3. Other configurations are available for dedicated runs.
5AM Process
This SiGe BiCMOS process has 4 (M1+M2+MT+AM) metal and 1 poly layers, supports MiM (Q2 to M2, nitride only).
- 5AM Supported Options
Please refer to the List of 5AM 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. While the process is capable of up to 5 metal layers, we offer 4 on multi-project wafer runs.
5HP and 5AM 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.
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 5HP process is IBM_5HP.
The technology code for the 5AM process is IBM_5AM.
