TowerJazz and TPSCo Release Enhanced up to 200V 180nm BCD on SOI Power Management Process
2017年3月27日 - 07:00PM
TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader,
and TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (TPSCo), the
leading analog foundry in Japan, announced today the availability
of a newly developed, state of the art 180nm
Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) SOI power management technology platform
supporting applications with up to 200V breakdown voltage. The
process features an integrated Deep Trench isolation and buried
Oxide which provide superior performance for a wide range of analog
and power applications such as motor drivers, home and industrial
appliances, battery management systems, electric vehicles,
ultra-fast GaN drivers, industrial motor controllers, and many
more.
The 200V SOI process is based on, and compatible
with TowerJazz’s advanced 180nm bulk BCD platform. Hence, customers
can reuse in this platform, elements designed for bulk process
leading to faster time to market with high confidence of
success, and cost and time savings on the design cycle, with the
ability to extend their designs up to 200V.
This advanced technology offering addresses a
significant number of end applications within the automotive and
industrial power management IC markets, which according to
Databeans, a semiconductor and electronics industry market research
firm, are expected to grow from $3 billion in 2017 to approximately
$5.3 billion in 2021, with a CAGR of about 11%.
TowerJazz expects to increase its footprint in
various growing markets by providing customers with an enhanced
technology offering that includes dramatic die size reduction with
deep trench isolation. In addition to high voltage support, the SOI
process offers high immunity to ESD/EMC and Latch up, noise,
negative voltages operation, low leakage and fast switching due to
faster reverse recovery, support for high temperatures fully
isolated transistors and circuitry. The new platform includes a
digital library with eNVM, 200V LDMOS and additional devices not
included in the existing TowerJazz power management offering.
“TowerJazz is proud to further expand its rich
power management offering with its 180nm BCD offering, with a best
in-class SOI process platform supporting up to 200V
applications. This advanced process platform will enable us to best
serve multiple new market segments such as motor drivers,
industrial tools, automotive and others,” said Shimon Greenberg,
Vice President and General Manager of Mixed-Signal and Power
Management Business Unit, TowerJazz. “The 200V SOI offering is
fully compatible with our existing 180nm power management PDK,
enabling our existing customers to re-use some of the already
designed and proven circuits and new customers to make use of our
power management rich device list and support environment.”
TowerJazz will be exhibiting at APEC in Tampa,
FL on March 26-30, 2017 in booth #1410.
