Product Overview

ONC18: 0.18 µm Process Technology

Product Description
The ONC18 process from ON Semiconductor is a low cost industry compatible 0.18 µm CMOS technology manufactured in the United States. This full featured process includes 1.8 V/3.3 V dual gate I/Os, nominal and high value MIM capacitors, resistors, and six levels of metal. A comprehensive design kit offers an expansive core, I/O, and memory library. Specialty services including stitching and shuttle prototyping are available. ONC18 also serves as a platform for highly integrated high voltage mixed-signal processes ideal for many automotive, industrial, medical, and military applications.
