Fujitsu Microelectronics provides design kit

News
The company provides advanced 65nm RF CMOS process design kit. Platforms are ideal for high performance and low power wireless SoCs.
Fujitsu Microelectronics America (FMA) announced the availability of 65nm RF CMOS
manufacturing services with the introduction of an advanced process design kit (PDK) to enable first pass silicon success. The RF CMOS platforms from Fujitsu are now available to customers in 90nm and 65nm nodes.

The RF CMOS PDKs are ideal for developing high performance, low power SoCs that integrate RF functions for Bluetooth, GPS, cellular, wireless audio/video, wireless LAN and optical communications. The highly accurate transistor models include both advanced PSP and traditional BSIM models.The PDK's model accuracy and improved ease of use enable engineers to design challenging mixed-signal and RF ICs easily.

Based on the Fujitsu low leakage 90nm and 65nm analogue/RF CMOS process technologies, the PDKs include a comprehensive set of parameterised cells and tool kits for active and passive devices. The flexible inductor synthesis toolkit automatically generates precise and scalable inductor layout and models for high speed analogue and RF circuits. The sophisticated statistical simulation environment is a powerful tool for yield analysis, process sensitivity and design space exploration. The result for customers is reduced development time and rapid time to market.

"Our platforms ensure that our customers achieve first pass functional silicon at the 90 and 65 nanometre process nodes for high performance, low power RF CMOS IC designs, avoiding costly re-spins and low yields," said Steve Della Rocchetta, vice president of the Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business group at Fujitsu Microelectronics America.

"The main advantage of the Fujitsu RF CMOS processes is the ability to integrate complex logic, analogue and RF circuits into single chip," said Tatsuya Yamazaki, vice president, in charge of the ASIC/COT business for Fujitsu Microelectronics in Japan. "Built on the Fujitsu advanced process technologies, accurate device models, and comprehensive IP portfolios, the Fujitsu low power RF CMOS technology platforms are exceptional choices for next generation, high volume wireless applications."
