Author_Institution :
MOSIS Service, Univ. of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Abstract :
MOSIS is a low-cost prototyping and small volume production service for VLSI circuit development with a worldwide customer base. Since 1981, the service has fabricated more than 42,000 integrated circuit designs for use by commercial firms, government agencies and universities, a number unmatched by any other service and has served as the model for prototyping services throughout the world. The current status of the MOSIS Service, its technology offerings and the MOSIS VLSI Educational Program will be discussed.
