MARINA DEL REY, CA--(Marketwire - June 22, 2010) - MOSIS, CMP and CMC are partnering to offer a 3D-IC Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) service based on Tezzaron Semiconductor's SuperContact technology and GLOBALFOUNDRIES' 130nm CMOS process.
The first MPW run is targeting January 2011:
- 2-tier face-to-face bonded wafers
- 130nm CMOS process for both tiers
- Top tier exposing TSV and backside metal pads for wire bonding
A design-kit supporting 3D-IC design with standard-cells and IO libraries is available.
Further MPW runs schedule supporting process flavors (multiple tiers beyond 2, different CMOS flavors for different tiers) will be driven by users' requirements.
Potential users are encouraged to contact MOSIS/CMP/CMC for details (www.mosis.com).
