SilTerra’s CMOS Logic
technologies provide
optimal combination of
performance in term of
power, speed and gate
density, to meet the
stringent product
requirement in Consumer,
Communication and
Computing applications.
The Low Power / High Vt
CMOS Logic technologies is
customized for digital
processors used in
portable consumer
applications.
SilTerra’s 180nm, 160nm
and 130nm Mixed-Signal and
RFCMOS technologies are
built from the proven CMOS
Logic platform with
additional active and
passive RF/analog
components. These
RF/analog components
features high precision
MiM (
Metal-Insulator-Metal),
Finger Capacitor,
Varactor, Diode, Thick
Metal Inductors, Deep
Nwell, Multi-Vt and High
precision resistors which
are characterized up to
20GHz range. These
technologies are well
suited for RF/analog
applications used in WLAN,
Bluetooth, RFID, Zigbee
applications
