The
MOSIS Service
MOSIS is a low-cost prototyping and small-volume production service
for VLSI circuit development. Since 1981, MOSIS has fabricated more
than 50,000 circuit designs for commercial firms, government agencies,
and research and educational institutions around the world. MOSIS provides
access to a wide variety of semiconductor processes, technology files,
design kits, libraries and IP to create designs for processes offered
by many different foundries, accessible through a variety of design
flows (digital, analog, mixed-signal) and CAD tools. Mask generation,
wafer fabrication, and device packaging are contracted to leading industry
vendors. MOSIS keeps the cost of fabricating prototype quantities low
by aggregating multiple designs onto one mask set. This allows customers
to share overhead costs associated with mask making, wafer fabrication,
and assembly. MOSIS offers dedicated COT runs as well.
