austriamicrosystems releases new version of best-in-class process design kit for its 0.18µm High-Voltage CMOS technology (H18)

The HIT-Kit for new H18 process includes high density silicon qualified libraries enabling System-on-Chip applications. Based on Cadence® Virtuoso® custom design platform (IC 5.1.41 release), the new HIT-Kit significantly reduces the time-to-market for highly competitive products in the analog intensive mixed signal and System-on-Chip arena. Supporting designers in creating their first-time-right mixed signal designs even for complex designs, this comprehensive design kit with its highly accurate simulation models and flexible pcells provides a proven route to silicon.

The new HIT-Kit v3.77 supports the 0.18µm specialty process technology H18 (High-Voltage CMOS) which is based on IBM’s industry proven foundry process technology CMOS7RF. It includes silicon-qualified digital, analog and RF library elements, complete sets of low voltage devices (1.8V and 5.0V) as well as high-voltage devices with various gate oxide thicknesses (1.8, 5 and 20µm GOX thickness resulting in 20V and 50V devices). Fully characterized simulation models for a large set of simulators, extraction and verification run sets as well as automatic layout device generators complete the H18 HIT-Kit offering. Hence product developers are enabled with a plug-and-play tool set which facilitates "first time right" designs.
