C5 Process

Download: process information for use in class assignments.

1. Process Family Description

This non-silicided CMOS process has 3 metal layers and 2 poly layers, and a high resistance layer. Stacked contacts are supported. The process is for 5 volt applications. MOSIS orders epi wafers for this process. For further information, see the AMIS Mixed Signal Foundry Services web page.

C5N Process

PiP (poly2 over poly) capacitors (950 aF/µm²) and the HRP (High Resistance) option are available on multiproject runs.

C5F Process

The C5F process offers the above layers of C5N plus Thick_Gate, N_Minus_Implant (Npblk), and P_Minus_Implant (Ppblk).

Important note about pads

The bonding pads on designs submitted to these runs should have metal2 (and via2) under the metal3. If these guidelines are not followed, metal lifting problems can occur.
