THREE PHASES:http://www.mosis.org • Phase I: 1981-1985 • DARPA Direct Funded Era: 100% DARPA Funded • Phase II: 1985-1994 • Multi-Agency Direct Funding • DARPA: ~80% • Subsidized All Undesrsubscribed Runs • NSA, NSF: ~15% • Purchased Needed Projects Only • Commercial Customers: ~5% • Helped to defray Government Costs by using excess area. • Phase III: 1994-1999 • Self-Sustaining Operations • Commercial Customers are Primary Source of Income: ~90% • DARPA: ~5%; NSA/NSF: ~5%

21st Century MOSIS • CMOS will continue to be the dominant technology for the foreseeable future • Only known circuit configuration that draws 0 power when not switching • CMOS feature sizes will continue to decrease • 0.25 and 0.18 will probably be the “workhorse” logic technologies for the next 5 years - because of COST • 0.35 - 1998 - I line lithography (365nm) OK • 0.25 - 1999 -248nm excimer lasers-fused silica ok • “Leading Edge” • 0.18 - 2001- 193nm laser-close to short limit for refractive optics • 0.15 - 2003 - Scaling of 0.18m • 0.13 - 2005 - Lots of engineering problems but doable
PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY: CONTROLS THE COST • Full wafer lithography (FWL) is lowest cost • Large payload: >5000sqmm • 2um is lowest practical limit • 1X Stepper Lithography is next • Medium payload: ~ 900 sqmm • 1.2um is lowest practical limit • 5X Stepper Lithography is next • Small Payload: 290 - 400 sqmm max. • Technology of choice for 1.2um and below • 1um defect on mask is 0.2um on wafer • 0.5 um - 1.6um mask tech. straightforward • Below 0.5um masks become VERY expensive • BUT - (Fortunately) THE RETICLE SIZE IS INCREASING AS THE FEATURE SIZE DECREASES!
MOSIS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM • What is the MOSIS Educational Program? • The MOSIS Educational Program provides free fabrication of integrated circuits designed by students in organized classes at accredited U.S. educational institutions. • Who is eligible for funding? • Funding is available to accredited U.S. universities who agree to the following terms: • Designs must be sent to MOSIS in CIF or GDSII format via the Internet. • A report must be sent to MOSIS for each fabricated circuit. • Further Details can be found at: • http://www.mosis.org
MOSIS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMFunding Sources • AMI has donated 4 wafer runs/yr (1.2/1.5 ) • HP has donated 2 wafer runs/yr (0.5 ) • IBM has donated 2-3 wafer runs (0.35 ) • MOSIS contributes: • All administrative costs • The Educational share of the 2wafer costs • 0.35 fabrication for a selected number of projects from advanced classes in the regularly scheduled runs. (The 0.25 runs will also become available in the near future) • NSF funding decreasing, BUT some funding remains and will help transition the program to a self-sustaining mode. • Various industrial firms and professional societies have made cash contributions
