CL035 (TSMC35_SIL) / CM035 (TSMC35_P2) Process
Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) 0.35 Micron

Process Description
These processes use non-epitaxial wafers. Epitaxial wafers are available at an additional cost. Specify "epitaxial wafers" in the "Options" section of the Custom quote form for pricing. To order epitaxial wafers, submit the Request for Custom Quote and select the epitaxial fabrication option from either the New Project, Fabricate, or Update at MOSIS Project Management.
Both TSMC35_P2 and TSMC35_SIL require Metal 4 in the pad stack. Flip chip bumping is available from MOSIS. Please send e-mail to MOSIS support for more information.
TSMC35_P2 (CM035)
TSMC35_P2 is the TSMC design technology for the double poly process (no silicide block). It supports via3 and metal4, and is for 3.3 volt applications. A thick oxide layer can be used for 5.0 volt transistors. 5 V ESD is available as an option. PiP (poly2 over poly) capacitors (850 aF/µm²) are available. Silicide block is not applicable to this polycided process.
TSMC35_SIL (CL035)
TSMC35_SIL is the TSMC design technology for the single poly, silicided (with silicide block for diffusion only) process. It supports 4 metal layers, and is for 3.3 volt applications. A thick oxide layer can be used for 5.0 volt transistors. 5 V ESD is available as an option.

Important note about insulator layers
- On this process, TSMC requires that all features on the insulator layers (CONTACT, VIA, VIA2, VIA3) be of the single standard size. There are no exceptions for pads, logos, or anything else. Large openings are to be replaced by an array of standard sized openings.
