LFoundry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Named: LFoundry Founded: September 2008 Headquarters: Landshut, Germany Type: Privately held Industry: Silicon Foundry Products: 200mm silicon wafers Technology: Analog/Mixed-Signal and Customer-Specific Semiconductor Manufacturing and Services. Key Executives: Michael Lehnert (CEO); Gerhard Spitzlsperger (CTO), Hans-Martin Dudenhausen (CFO) Employees: 1,000 LFoundry is a semiconductor foundry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundry_(electronics) for analog, mixed-signal and specialized technologies. LFoundry, founded in 2008 and based in Landshut, Germany provides 200mm foundry capacity at its Landshut (Germany) and Rousset (France) fabrication facilities. The facilities support process technologies down to 0.11µm (110nm). More than 1,000 employees operate these two fabs.

The Landshut fab, which commenced wafer production in 1992, features a 5000m² class 1 clean room and produces more than 12,000 wafers output per month. The Rousset fab, which was established in 1996, includes a >10000m² class 1 clean room and produces more than 20,000 wafers output per month. LFoundry Germany (Landshut) LFoundry France (Rousset)

LFoundry’s fabs are fully automated and equipped with EDP lot dispatch systems, producing wafers from prototypes to volume production. In particular, the LFoundry fabs provide: ● Process technologies from 0.35-micron, 0.15-micron with a technology roadmap to 0.11-micron ● Customized process setups through flexible engineering support ● Modular Foundry Process Design Kits (PDK) on interoperable PDK (iPDK) platform, including large IP and library portfolio ● High RF performance at 0.15-micron ● Foundry capabilities for low-power and high-speed applications ● Technology extensions for Embedded Memory, High-Voltage, Opto-CMOS applications and CMOS-based MEMS capabilities.
