In the standard process up to 8 masks are used: - buried layer (sub collector), isolation, base, emitter, contact mask, thin film resistor mask, metal mask, pad mask. The devices available are vertical NPN transistors, vertical substrate PNP transistors, lateral PNP transistors, TaN2 - tantalum nitride thin film resistors and MNOS MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) capacitors. PROCESS OPTIONS Process enhancements are added to increase the integrated circuit designer's flexibility in designing with HTE Labs analog bipolar process. Optional devices available are as follows: P JFET (p channel junction field effect transistor), EPI N JFET (n channel silicon epitaxial junction field effect transistor), Schottky diodes,Varactor diodes, PIN diodes,Zenner diodes, laser trim able NiCr (nickel chrome resistors) , TaN2 (tantalum nitride resistors) or SiCr (silicon chrome resistors) sputtered thin film resistors. Sheet resistance for the integrated thin film resistors is offered in the widest range from 1? / square to 100k ? / square while the temperature coefficient of resistance is between ±25 ppm/°C to ±500ppm/°C. For metal interconnections HTE Labs process employs up to two layers of metallization, TiW/Au (standard metallization). The interlayer dielectric is 1µm SiO2 while the passivation is Si3N4 or SiO2. Minimum contact size is 3µm x 3µm while the metal pitch is 10µm. For flip chip, chip on board and chip scale packaging applications, Gold bumps or solder bumps are available process options. The 45V 200MHz custom analog bipolar process employs up to 12 masking layers for all features to be included. What sets HTE Labs apart are couple main process options and capabilities that are not typically acceptable or handled by large wafer foundries. * Custom developed processes Custom developed processesHTE Labs has the engineering resources and processing capabilities to develop custom processes to fit customer's specific applications.

ORDERING: Registered customers can order online from within assigned BUSINESS PORTAL. A copy of the order along with an order confirmation receipt is issued instantly for all orders placed on line. On line Orders have to be verified, accepted and acknowledged by HTE LABS sales department in writing before, becoming non cancelable binding contracts.
DELIVERY: Typical delivery for Standard processes is 6-8 weeks ARO. For Custom processes lead time may vary.
SHIPPING & PACKING: For certain processes, customer should ship only prime wafers, delivered in sealed containers [original manufacturer seal must be present]. All wafers shipped to HTE LABS by customers, should be packed in suitable wafer carriers or wafer containers, wrapped in reusable minim 2 layers of air bubble packing material [pink anti-static bubble cushioning wrap], or air pillows and heavy wall cardboard boxes. Foam packing peanuts are not acceptable due to the nuisance caused by particles and electrostatic charge generated during shipping.
SAMPLES: Due to the nature of this product line, free samples are not available, unless they are against an existing firm order, pending qualification of a process.
HTE LABS guarantees continuous supply and availability of any of it's standard or custom developed processes and technologies provided minimum order quantities are met.
HTE LABS has made every effort to have this information as accurate as possible. However, no responsibility is assumed by HTE LABS for its use, nor for any infringements of rights of third parties, which may result from its use. HTE LABS reserves the right to revise the content or modify its product line without prior notice.
