Process gains bipolar and photodiode options
PolarFab has added complementary high-speed bipolar devices and multiwavelength photodiodes to its modular 0.35um Polar35 process.
The new 2-page datasheet describes Polar35's comprehensive device suites that allow customers to optimise analogue and mixed-signal designs.
Information included details the BiCMOS, CMOS and bipolar device suites that incorporate a low noise NPN bipolar transistor, a pair of complementary bipolar transistors, a full set of passive devices including a 3kohm/square poly resistor and a high density 2.25fF/um2 poly-poly capacitor, space-efficient ESD protection devices, and integrated silicon photodiodes with patent pending anti-reflective coating for 405, 650 and 780nm wavelengths.
A representative cross-section of Polar35's integrated devices is included in the new datasheet.
Also listed are the extensive design support options offered by PolarFab for its Polar35 process, which include 5V digital cell libraries supporting schematic-based or SPR flows, a Cadence Process Design Kit (PDK), scalable models and P-cells, a comprehensive design layout manual, and models (Spectre, PSpice and HSpice).
Additionally, Polar35's key rule values, as well as compatible mask layer and metal layer options available, are presented in the datasheet.
