IC 0.35µm ARC C35B4O1

IC ams 0.35µm CMOS Opto ARC 4 ML C35B4O1

TECHNOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS :

This 0.35 CMOS-Opto process is offered in each 0.35 CMOS run (C35B4C3).
This is a ARC (Anti Reflective Coating) option.

• Anti-Reflective Coating (ARC) allows a higher photo-sensitivity than C35B4C3.
• P-Epi wafers for lowering current leakage in the diode (lower dark current).

The C35B4O1 is with 4 layers metal available for prototyping and low volume production.
Met. layer(s): 4
Poly layer(s): 2
Maximum die size: 2cm x 2cm
DLP Usable cells: about 300 digital cells
Available I/O: I/O cell library with digital pads is available 3V, 3V/5V, 5V with internal level shifters
Temp. range: -40° C. / +125° C.
Supply voltage: 5V or 3.3V.

APPLICATION AREA :

Provides enhanced optical sensitivity for embedded photodiodes and high density CMOS camera products.

TURNAROUND TIME :

Typical leadtime: 10-12 weeks from MPW run deadline to packaged parts
In 2018, AMS runs faced unexpected long lead-times. Starting from Q1 2019, lead-times are back to standard ones.
