X-ray Topography

With our XRTmicron topography tools, we investigate crystallographic defects on wafer scale, non-destructively, with high measurement speed and highest spatial resolution. The X-ray topography measurement method used for this purpose is ideally suited for the analysis of epilayer structures, wafers, wafers with epilayer structures and partially processed wafers.

EUROPRACTICE

IISB’s HT CMOS technology enables fabrication of integrated analog and digital circuits on 150 mm wafers which can operate at temperatures up to approx. 600 °C. Custom solutions allow for integration of sensors, e.g. UV and temperature, as well as lateral power devices. To support circuit design, a preliminary process design kit (PDK) based on KLayout and Cadence including technology information, process constrains, such as design, and layout rule checks (DRC & LVS) is provided.

TCAD

We employ TCAD (technology computer-aided design) based on the industry standard Synopsys Sentaurus software, complemented by in-house modules with additional capabilities for process modeling. This allows us to address our customers' individual needs related to semiconductor manufacturing technology for various types of devices.

Quantum mechanical device simulations can be added and interfaces to atomistic modeling allow, e.g., the determination of parameters for process and device simulation.

LiWiCalc®

LiWiCalc® is our high-speed software for calculating all dominant power losses on realistic litz wire geometries: With an accurate resolution of internal and external proximity and skin effects, LiWiCalc® calculates losses for litz wires with several thousands of strands on multiple geometry levels for a wide frequency range and thus supports the design of e.g. chokes, coils and transformers.
