Subject: [oc] Choosing a Fabrication Process
Hi everyone,I've got a question regarding choosing a fabrication process.. Let us imagine
for a moment that there is a fab out there with all possible processes
imaginable and is really cheap (a perfect fab).. I'm interested to know what
factors should be considered when choosing the process..
- How do we decide if we want to use 0.35 or 0.25 or 0.18 or 0.13 or any other
size for that matter??
- Does it matter if a design is fully digital/fully analog/mixed??
- Does power (W) and supply (V) come into the picture??
- Does speed (MHz/GHz) come into the picture??
- How do we decide which foundry/fab to use??
- Any other things to consider??
I'd appreciate any advice I can get.. Also:
- Is there any place to get circuit designs/pre-laid out designs like at
opencores but for analog/mixed designs??
I'm about to go down the full-custom analogue/mixed path and I'd like to have
some idea of what to expect...
cheers..
