Compound Semiconductor Materials on Silicon (COSMOS) Multi-Project Wafer (MPW)
Abstract
The Compound Semiconductor Materials on Silicon (COSMOS) Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) program has pioneered the intimate integration of high-performance compound semiconductor devices (specifically Indium Phosphide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors) with advanced, high-density silicon Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor devices to realize mixed-signal circuits that exploit the principle of "best junction for the function". The COSMOS MPW program established a foundry capability in order to provide broad access to the DoD and commercial RF/mixed-signal design community. This program introduced early access multiproject wafer effort and will support 4 MPW runs of increasing sophistication. This program is a companion effort to the COSMOS program in PE 0602716E, Project ELT-01, and is budgeted in Budget Activity 3 to initiate foundry activities and prepare for transition. This technology transitioned to industry.
