AWR and austriamicrosystems Introduce Open Access Based SiGe Process
 Design
Kit for Analog Office(R) RFIC Design Environment
London, England and Unterpremstaetten, Austria -- November 3,
2008 - AWR and austriamicrosystems AG today introduced an Open
Access based process design kit (PDK) for austriamicrosystems S35 0.35-µm
silicon germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS process technology that is optimized
for circuits operating up to 10 GHz and beyond. The design kit lets
users take full advantage of the industry-leading fabrication capabilities
of austriamicrosystems together with AWR's Analog Office RFIC design
suite.
The PDK includes Monte Carlo simulation models and a set
of Open Access (www.si2.org)
PyCells, developed using Ciranova's PyCell Studio. Available devices
include a wide array of high-speed and high-voltage bipolar transistors,
NMOS and PMOS transistors, capacitors, resistors, and spiral inductors
along with electrostatic discharge and RF pad structures. The PDK also
includes all electromagnetic (EM) stack-up information required to perform
EM analysis and parasitic extraction from within the Analog Office design
environment using AWR's EM Socket™ interface.
"One of our European
customers will be using our advanced S35 process together with AWR's
Analog Office software for their latest high frequency designs," said
Hannes Koreimann, Director Marketing Business Unit Full Service Foundry
at austriamicrosystems. "This PDK gives our mutual customers the benefit
of using austriamicrosystems high performance S35 SiGe BiCMOS process
with the innovative software solution from AWR.
"There have been
numerous requests to add austriamicrosystems' advanced S35 process to
our PDK offering," said Graeme Ritchie, Product Manger - Analog Office
at AWR. "I'm very pleased now to be able to offer this SiGe PDK
to AWR's Analog Office users and to leverage its cross tool accessibility
via its Open Access roots.
The Analog Office RFIC PDK supporting
austriamicrosystems S35 process is available now. Readers should contact
their local AWR office for more information.
