Jazz addresses the next generation of integration needs in high performance analog and RF applications with its comprehensive 0.18µm process platform. The platform is suited for applications where analog or RF performance is the dominating factor, and future integration requires more complex analog, high voltage or higher density analog components. Applications such as power management integration, power amplifier integration, radio frequency tuning for digital broadcast or high performance audio are all target markets for the platform.

Jazz Semiconductor's process enables integrated analog, RF and power functions on a single 0.18µm platform. Click here to enlarge.

The advanced 0.18µm analog and RFCMOS foundry process provides the baseline for its existing 0.18µm SiGe BiCMOS (SBC18) suite of processes, which, in addition to the module offerings described, incorporates high speed, standard and high breakdown SiGe bipolar transistors, or SiGe NPNs, for low noise, high switching speeds and better linearity than can be achieved with the 0.18µm CMOS offering, for applications where those features are required.

A Vertical PNP, RF LDMOS, 5.0 and 8.0 V extended drain FETs are offered in addition to standard 3.3 and 1.8 V FETs to enable voltage regulator, battery charger or RF power amplifier integration and can be used for multiple applications, including wireless and wireline transceivers or consumer devices such as disk drives and DVD laser drivers. In addition to the transistor offerings, Jazz offers high density passive devices to optimize scaling, including MIM capacitors with densities up to 4fF/µm2, and inductors for RF performance, with top metal thicknesses of 5.2µm, to achieve higher quality factors.

The advanced analog and RF 0.18µm process platform is supported by Jazz Semiconductor process design kits, digital libraries, complete documentation and analog and RF modeling suite, to provide users with an accurate representation of their circuit performance via simulation and comprehensive, silicon validated modeling techniques.
