IBM Design Kits For CMOS Processes
IBM design kits are available upon approval for MOSIS customers.
To obtain any of these items you must have an account with MOSIS and follow the instructions on the MOSIS web site at the IBM Design Rules, Process Specifications, and SPICE Parameters page.
The following IBM PDKs support Cadence IC6.1 (OA) only:
- 32SOI
- 12SOI
- 9RF
The following IBM PDKs support both Cadence IC6.1 (OA) and IC5.1.4.1:
- 7RF
- 7HV
- 8RF-LM
- 8RF-DM
- 10LPe/10RFe
All other PDKs only support IC5.1.41.

1 Cadence Design Kit usage is reverse compatible. Cadence v5.0.33 works for kits supporting Cadence v5.1.41
2 ESD Toolbox typically contains basic ESD device pcells and small ESD sub-circuits; e.g. anti-parallel diodes, double diodes, Darlington clamp, RC clamp
3 ADS support for IBM is RFDE/Dynamic-Link, and can only be used together with the IBM Cadence design environment.
4 Must use MMSIM
5 Magma tech files are a separate download and are not included in the Process Design Kit (PDK).
6 Diva is offered, but not supported.
7 This is a Spectre compatible kit. It does not contain unique Eldo models. Please use the Spectre models from the corresponding Cadence design kit.
