Integrated Circuit Prototyping Services

Custom and semicustom integrated circuits may be prototyped quickly
and inexpensively using prototyping brokers that are available to 
commercial and educational designers world-wide.

Even though the funding of EUROCHIP has ceased, educators in Europe 
still have access to CMP (Circuits Multi-Project) which has prototyped 
about 1600 integrated circuits since its inception in 1981. In 1994, 
CMP prototyped 250 integrated circuits for 74 institutions, totalling 
an area of 3600 sq.mm.

The technologies available via CMP include:

  * 1.2 micron, 1.0 micron, 0.7 micron CMOS DLM from ES2 
  * 1.2 micron (DLP), 0.8 micron (SLP) CMOS DLM from AMS 
  * 1.2 micron BiCMOS DLM/DLP, 0.8 micron BiCMOS DLM/SLP from AMS 
  * 0.6 micron GaAs from VSC 
  * 0.2 micron GaAs HEMT from PML 
  * 0.5 micron CMOS TLM from STM/France Telecom 
  * Multi-Chip Modules

MOSIS (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Implementation Service) has processed 
more than 25,000 projects in 14 different technologies and has established 
interfaces to 16 wafer fabricators, 10 photomask fabricators and 6 package 
assembly houses.

Current technologies available include:
 
 * New! HP CMOS14TB (0.5 micron)
 *      HP CMOS26G (0.8 micron)
 *      HP CMOS34 (1.2 micron) with linear capacitor option (AMOSI)
 *      Orbit SCNA2 CMOS (2 micron Low Noise Analog)
 * New! Orbit SCNA12 CMOS (1.2 micron Low Noise Analog)
 * Vitesse H-GaAs-3
 * Multi-Chip Modules (IBM, MMS, nChip)
