Purpose

To define a standard way of communicating basic process parameters and criteria for mixed-signal/RF processes and to develop standard definitions for quantitative and qualitative metrics that can be used for classification and as figures of merit in selecting an appropriate process and process options for a specific design application.

Initiatives

AMS/RF Process Checklist Update - The Working Group has developed a four- page Process Checklist reflects the key attributes of an AMS/RF foundry process offering and provides standard definitions for quantitative and qualitative metrics that can be used for classification and as figures of merit in selecting an appropriate process and process options for a specific design application. The current version 1.0 includes sections for process type, process release status, process attributes, passive device attributes, foundry logistics, active device attributes, and libraries and IP.

Mixed-Signal/RF PCM Checklist Update - Now that the Process Checklist has been completed, the Subcommittee's PCM/Process Checklist Working Group will work to develop a checklist that will help in communicating basic process parameters and criteria for mixed-signal and RF processes. Please e-mail Chelsea Boone if you are interested in joining this working group.

Deliverables

AMS/RF Process Checklist – This document identifies the different elements of a foundry’s AMS/RF process and its ability to fulfill a semiconductor company’s needs; serves as a basic set of guidelines for measuring available items in an AMS/RF foundry process; and is an efficient way to communicate information in a consistent format across all foundries.

Latest Meeting Highlights

The AMS/RF Process Checklist is now final and ready for release.
