IBM 8RF-DM CMOS Process
0.13 Micrometer

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 Description
MOSIS is offering access to the IBM 0.13 micron CMOS 8RF-DM 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 to the MOSIS Support System
Supported metal Stack:
M1, M2, M3, MQ, MG, LY, E1, MA
This CMOS process offers up to 8 metal layers. MOSIS is supporting 8 (Cu, Al) metal layers (M1, M2, M3 [3 thin], MQ, MG [2 thick], LY (Al), E1 (Cu), MA (Al) [three thick RF-topmetals suitable for high-Q inductors]) with DV (glass cut), and QY+HY Dual Nitride MiM capacitors. Supply voltages are 1.2 V core and 3.3 V I/O.
8RF-DM Supported Options
Please refer to the List of 8RF-DM 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. Other configurations are available for dedicated runs.
Design Considerations
To insure that submitted data is on a 10 nm grid, please stream-out at 1 DBU = 10 nm (Cadence 0.010, 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 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.
