0.35µm CMOS-Opto Process from austriamicrosystems only with 4 metal layers option

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 08:47:00 GMT

austriamicrosystems changed the available options of 0.35µm CMOS-Opto Process. Starting from March 2005, only 4 - Metal layer version will be available for prototyping and/or production.

Since Chemical Mechanical Poolishing is performed between all metal levels, the surface of the process with 4 metal layers is as smooth as the process with 3 metal layers and the optical properties are therefore very similar.

0.8 CMOS CYE and 0.8 BiCMOS BYQ in 2005

Tue, 25 Jan 2005 13:07:00 GMT

The process CYE (0.8um CMOS) from austriamicrosystems is phased out, and there is no possibility to fabricate designs issued with this technology, for prototyping, nor for production.

The process BYQ (0.8um BiCMOS) from austriamicrosystems has been stopped for prototyping in MPW runs. There are still possibilities to fabricate engineering runs (mono-projet runs), or productions. Contact CMP if you need to have such fabrications.

Consequently to those processes stopping, CMP is no longer offering the Bulk-Micromachining MEMS process for these two technologies.
