Development agreement on advanced high-voltage CMOS process
IBM and austriamicrosystems have announced the signing of a development agreement for an advanced high-voltage (HV) complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process technology to be used in a range of consumer, automotive, industrial and medical applications.
austriamicrosystems' high-voltage module will enhance IBM's 180 nm radio frequency (RF) CMOS process technology. This HV module is currently in volume production as part of austriamicrosystems' 350 nm high-voltage CMOS process technology. Due to the strict modularity with the base process, customers designing on the 180 nm CMOS process may use their existing design IP to allow a very fast time to market.
The newly developed, high-performance process can enable cost-effective designs for a wide range of applications including intelligent power management ICs for mobile devices - like cell phones, PDAs and notebooks - and low-cost integrated controllers for automotive, industrial and medical applications.
