Highlights

ALTIS SEMICONDUCTOR 0.18µm Technology is an advanced high-yield process based on industry standard 0.18µm-ground-rules process relying on narrow pitch copper interconnects. This process is a key element of the ALTIS SEMICONDUCTOR technology roadmap.

This 0.18µm-ground-rules process enables to address a wide range of digital, analog, mixed signal and RF applications. A wide range of process options allows bringing dedicated solutions to specific customer requirements.

ALTIS SEMICONDUCTOR has been successfully in volume production for major market players on that technology since July 2000.

This long experience allows for new products to expect fast time-to-market and efficient yield learning. The 0.18µm technology manufacturing is performed in a high quality manufacturing line, achieving top quality and reliability levels.
