Abstract :
The large customer breadth of the Specialty Foundry is driving process technology and design enablement innovation that is hard to replicate within an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) which serves a more focused customer base. In this paper we will review Specialty Foundry technology in the areas of RF, high-performance analog, and power. We will also review novel design enablement tools available from the Specialty Foundry that leverage the tight interaction between EDA, models, and process technology to improve time to market and yield of highly integrated analog products.
