Description

CMC’s multi-project wafer service delivers Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) nanometer and micron-scale CMOS technologies.

This 0.18 μm CMOS technology is offered with a robust design kit (with a commercial cell library) that supports RF, analog, mixed-signal and digital design flows, plus various tutorials that use this technology for the design example.

Process Details

  • Electrical Contact
  • Forming Technology: Salicide
  • Layers: 6 metal, 1 poly
  • Supply Voltages: 1.8 V and 3.3 V
  • Minimum Drawn Gate Length: 0.18 μm
  • Options:
    • Logic (default)
    • Mixed-signal (deep N-well and metal-insulator-metal [MiM] capacitor)
    • Thick metal

Note: The expected number of chips to be delivered for this technology is 40.

Applications

The 0.18 µm CMOS (CMC term is CMOSP18) process is suitable for:

  • Analog circuits
  • Full custom digital circuits
  • RF circuits
  • Mixed-signal circuits

Features

  • 1.8 V/3.3 V
  • 1P6M
  • mimcap
  • LVT/native/HVT

Constraints

  • For the X-dim.: the smallest size should be no less than 0.6mm
  • The die aspect ratio (AR) should not exceed that of 3 to 1For TSMC 180nm MS RF G Specification
  • Required die Y dimension (mm) (including seal ring): 2, 3, or 5 if metal option 1p6m_4X1U40KA (Strongly recommend 1p6M_4X1U40KA) is used; 3 or 5 if metal option 1p6m_4X1N8KA is used
  • MiM cap. density, if used (fF/um2): 2
  • I/O (V): 3.3
  • Backgrind thickness (mils): 12
