  • IHP open source 130 nm BiCMOS PDK with 500 GHz fmax transistors

    This is a very fast BiCMOS process with both MOSFETs and bipolar transistors. Some digital logic can be implemented with MOSFETs but since they are 130 nm it's not very competitive with smaller cutting edge CMOS processes. Bipolar transistors are really the whole point of choosing this process and it's aimed for implementing analog and RF circuits. Bipolar transistors are extremely fast and can be used to make amplifiers operating at >200 GHz. MOSFETs can be used to implement some simple digital blocks for controlling the RF blocks.

    I have made several tapeouts with this process and I have very good experiences with it. Compared to other open source PDKs that Google has open sourced previously this one is quite modern and offers very good RF performance.

    It doesn't seem quite ready for design yet. Transistor models and stackup are published so schematic level simulation is possible. There is a roadmap chart in the repository (https://github.com/IHP-GmbH/IHP-Open-PDK/blob/main/ihp-sg13g...) and it seems that they are going to offer free MPW runs.

    Does not work for me on desktop. This does, however: roadmap
