Upgrade for mixed signal process and libraries
PolarFab has improved its 6in complementary BiCMOS (c-BiCMOS) RFBC/ABC3 processes to provide reduced die sizes and decreased design times.
The datasheet includes specifications and other features of the ABC3 process, including its capability to safely handle power supply ranges up to 10V, due to the ability to double-tub devices.
The process also supports a high-voltage option of 13V (eg -8V/5V) when a few key layer spacings are increased.
The process features devices such as vertical NPNs, vertical PNPs, NMOS/NMOSTub, PMOSTub, 0.8-micron Lpoly CMOS, high-value P-diffused resistors and Schottky diodes.
The datasheet also describes how PolarFab fully supports the new ABC3 process with a complete design tool kit that includes models, a Cadence PDK (process design kit), and a design and layout manual.
The company also offers guidelines for ESD protection and latch-up preventions, as well as design tool kit support and product development consulting services.
