Zarlink analogue foundry Introduces sub-micron BiCMOS process

News
Zarlink Semiconductor announced the release of a sub-micron BiCMOS process technology specifically addressing increasing customer demand for control and intelligence in power management chips.

This process technology combines Zarlink Analogue Foundry's proven 20 V 5 GHz WPX/Y analogue bipolar technology with a set of CMOS control aspects that are crucial in the fabrication of electronic components responsible for controlling power and extending battery life in consumer products, such as game consoles, mobile telephones and computers, as well as certain automotive applications.

"Our customers have been demanding an analogue bipolar BiCMOS process," said Dr. Peter Osborne, chief technology officer, Zarlink Analogue Foundry. "Most competing BiCMOS offerings are CMOS-centric with poor bipolar components. Building on our WP bipolar power management process expertise, we have integrated our 0.8-micron CMOS process to develop the only true analogue bipolar BiCMOS technology available. Our next steps are to incorporate our DMOS technology onto this process to permit the development of a BCDMOS process capability."
