austriamicrosystems’ (SWX:AMS) Full Service Foundry business unit announced today at the Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA) Supplier Expo in Santa Clara the offering of its leading edge 0.35um High-Voltage CMOS technology H35 with an additional set of 20V NMOS and PMOS devices. The new extension allows the integration of 3.3V, 5V, 20V, 50V and 120V devices on a single chip without any process changes.
The new thin-, mid- and thick oxide NMOS and PMOS devices with optimized area and very low Ron resistance as well as a new Metal-Insulator-Metal capacitor (MIMCAP) make the 20V option a competitive solution for fabless design houses and IDMs developing power management products and display drivers for battery powered applications.
austriamicrosystems’ 0.35um HV-CMOS technology is the first purely CMOS based High-Voltage process that matches BCD performance and chip sizes at much lower process complexity. It is based on the 0.35um CMOS process transferred from TSMC. H35 offers fully scalable High-Voltage NMOS and PMOS devices, floating logic libraries as well as a best-in-class power-on resistance. For its fully automotive and medical qualified H35 process, austriamicrosystems delivers its industry benchmark design environment (“HIT-Kit”), which comes complete with IO libraries, special utilities optimized for High-Voltage CMOS product design and excellent characterized circuit simulation models.
“The extension of our 0.35um High-Voltage CMOS technology portfolio with this new 20V devices strengthens austriamicrosystems’ commitment to provide our customers with best-in-class analog semiconductor process technology, manufacturing and services” says Thomas Riener, General Manager of austriamicrosystems' business unit Full Service Foundry. “Our H35 technology platform now fully supports supply voltages from 3.3V, 5V, 20V, 50V and 120V on a single chip. Lowest process complexity in combination with area and performance optimized devices gives our customers an enormous competitive advantage in developing their products such as power management products and display drivers for battery powered applications.”
