SA pushed 130-nm specialty design kits

Published:2012/5/17 2:48:00 Author:Ecco From:SeekIC

Altis Semiconductor SA has pushed updated process design kits for 130-nm specialty technologies. However, Altis Semiconductor SA is the specialty foundry bought by French entrepreneur Yazid Sabeg from IBM and Infineon in 2010. In the train of bought SA, the baseline CMOS 130-nm process also belongs to SA.

Based on Cadence Virtuoso v6.1 and the Open Access database, the latest PDKs extend the capabilities of previous versions with enhanced functionality and expanded EDA support. Altis provides the migration scripts to ease the transfer of existing legacy designs to the new PDK structure. The latest PDKs include mixed-mode low-power CMOS (ATS-130-LP), RF-CMOS (ATS-130-RF) and embedded-Flash (ATS-130-FL). The PDKs also include updated EDA tools support.

The PDKs support Momentum from Agilent which is a product for 3-D planar electromagnetic simulations of RF passive components and Agilent’s GoldenGate RFIC simulator. The PDKs contain so-called SKILL parameterized cell generators. The product supports design-rule-driven editing and the Virtuoso space-based router for chip, block and device-level routing.
