Getting the chip fabricated and tested Dr.K.S.Gurumurthy, Bangalore University Mr. Senthil Kumar, Kongu Engg College,Erode Dr.Tilak, GEC, AP Dr.Bhanu Bhaskara, JNTU, Hyderabad Dr.B.P.Harish, Bangalore University B.kalivaraprasad SVECW-bhimavaram(A.P)
AGENDA • Motivation • What are the foundries available • Semiconductor Complex Ltd., Chandigarh • Summary IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
Motivation • To present an overview of the IC fabrication facilities available to Universities in India. • To encourage faculty/students to tape out designs, for fabrication and characaterization, to demonstrate proof of concept. IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
What are the foundries available? • Semiconductor Complex Ltd., Chandigarh • MOSIS, US • Europractice, EU - AMIS - TSMC - Austria Microsystems - UMC IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
Semiconductor Complex Ltd , Chandigarh • The ‘India Chip Program’ is a program of Multi-Product Wafer runs at regular intervals at SCL. • The program envisages to put different circuits from various designers on a common mask set and wafers, to reduce the cost of prototyping per design. IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
Who can use India Chip Program? • The India Chip Program is ideally suited for validating small circuit concepts being done by • Academic Institutions • Research Institutions • Entrepreneurs • Commercial Organisations IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
IC Designers in the country can design circuits using SCL’s Design Kit that includes SCL’s Cell Library, Design Rules and Model Parameters. • Using SCL’s Design Kit, IC Designers can do complete design of the circuit and generate GDSII data for mask fabrication. • Mask fabrication, wafer fabrication and parametric testing shall be taken up by SCL. IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
Flow Chart of the Activities of SCL IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
How to send your design data to SCL? • On conceptualization of the design the designer will send details about the design concept to SCL in a Preliminary Product Description Document. • Once your design is complete SCL will accept design data in GDSII format. (If Cadence is used, please perform a stream-out with library version 3.0. Data may please be sent on CD or through email or through FTP). IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
Charges for fabrication under India Chip Program IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
Summary • Fabrication facilities are explored for IC prototyping and characterization. • SCL’s India Chip program is taken as case study and it seems to be viable. IUCEE WORKSHOP - VLSI DESIGN
