Simplifying the process of ASIC manufacturing
Ready to fabricate your ASIC design? Imec.IC-link assists you with flexible access to multi-project wafer (MPW) and volume production at leading foundries for mature and advanced nodes, including its own innovative technologies such as gallium nitride and silicon photonics.
Process technology selection
The starting point for any design is selecting the right process technology node for the manufacturing of your ASIC.
Our skilled imec.IC-link team helps you make the technology choice that best fits your technical and market requirements. And subsequently provides you with the corresponding design kit and cell libraries so you can create your chip layout.
ASIC manufacturing in CMOS
As a leading TSMC Value Chain Aggregator (VCA), imec offers you access to an extensive range of mature and cutting-edge technologies. And as a main partner of Europractice we also support technologies from other foundries, such as X-FAB and UMC. Along with the variety of technologies, you can choose from a range of options – including FinFET logic, embedded memory, mixed signal as well as other dedicated processes for power devices and image sensors.
All this comes with the proven, high-quality production guarantee that you can expect from foundry partners leading in semiconductor industry.
GaN-IC
Imec’s unique GaN-on-SOI technology provides full isolation between power devices, drivers, control and protection circuits. This enables the fabrication of complex single-chip GaN power ICs.
Compared to traditional silicon-based processing, innovative compound semiconductor processes offer higher power density and faster switching capabilities in very small form factors. Imec’s 100V and 650V GaN-on-SOI technology is offered in the form of a Multi-Project Wafer service.
