Special field:
High-Voltage CMOS and Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS
for industrial and automotive products
One
focus of QPX services is on robustness of technologies containing
lateral & vertical DMOS and/or
high-voltage MOS/bipolar transistors with high DC/transient voltage
requirements.
The IC products fabricated in these technologies often have to operate in harsh
environments (e.g. automotives) being exposed to a variety of
EM disturbances and large temperature ranges.
A frequent cause of customer returns of malfunctioning ICs is missing signal
integrity or EOS
failures caused by ESD protection devices. To avoid these kind of
failures the holding voltage of ESD protection device can be increased
above the supply voltage.
Example: QPX device design expertise for holding voltage increase in SCRs EXAMPLE
