While BCD-on-SOI was traditionally considered a niche technology, it has seen a steep rise in adoption in recent years from all major market segments. The higher SOI substrate cost is more than compensated by the many benefits that come with BCD-on-SOI technologies. X-FAB developed its first BCD-on-SOI technology more than 25 years ago and now offers the most extensive foundry BCD-on-SOI technology portfolio.
Our modular processes combine the benefits of dielectric isolation through buried oxide (BOX) and deep trench isolation (DTI) with a wide range of robust HV CMOS, bipolar and well-matched passive primitive devices. XT018 is our leading 180 nm BCD-on-SOI technology solution supporting automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 0 designs and also satisfying the more stringent automotive reliability requirements which become challenging to deal with in Bulk BCD processes.
Learn more about the benefits of dielectric isolation in BCD-on-SOI technologies like latch-up immunity, voltage scalable isolation and ESD-protection, ease of design for circuits with multiple voltage domains and simpler ways to handle AC-coupling effects.

For an IC to function reliably in the long-term, you need to be able to predict how a circuit is going to perform after a significant time in operation. Complementing silicon qualification, aging simulations come in handy to estimate the behavior in advance, to fulfill ISO 26262 requirements with regards to functional safety but also to help debug issues identified after reliability stress.
In this webinar, you will learn about the basics of reliability physics and the typical mechanisms that are responsible for transistor aging. The main influencing factors for device degradation will be described and options for limiting them will be discussed.
The presentation will also cover the flow for performing aging simulations in the Cadence design environment, providing examples that illustrate aging impact on circuits and how aging simulation can be used to uncover it.
In addition, the possibilities and limitations of aging simulation are highlighted and suggestions of usage in the day-to-day work of circuit designers are provided along with an overview of current aging model availability in X-FAB’s 180 nm processes and an outlook on upcoming models.

Be aware of the avalanche! Are you planning to integrate Avalanche Photodiodes (APD) or Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD) into your next IC design? If yes, you should watch this webinar replay. It will cover X-FAB's new APD/SPAD devices which come with a high photon detection probability of up to 18% for 850 nm wavelength and a low dark count rate. You will also learn about the integrated trigger diode which allows precise, real-time on-chip breakdown voltage detection without an external light source.

X-FAB has been providing photodiodes for more than 20 years. In this webinar we are proud to introduce our new core process optimized for photodiodes. This has been developed based on the feedback and requests from you - our customers. The technology comes with a number of photodiodes with outstanding performance for UV, ambient and near-infrared light. It also offers a range of other devices to enable fully integrated low-noise sensor designs.
