Objective
Design of a complete highly reliable, low power, hybrid electronic circuit implying the development of three ASICs and a substrate encompassing the packaged dies and required external components. Two ASICs will be designed using low voltage "BiCMOS5" process from ST: a mixed chip integrating all the specific prostheses functions and a 8 bit microcontroller with fast telemetry function. A protection and interface circuit will be realised using the high voltage "CBZ" process from AMS.
Adaptation of 0.5um BiCMOS process design kit:
new devices generators and cells in MENTOR GRAPHICS environment;
characterisation of the digital library at 1.5V instead of 3.3V for low power design.
Integration of the high voltage "CBZ" process in MENTOR GRAPHICS environment with specific devices and adaptation to low power requirements.
Implementation of a chip scale plastic packaging at wafer level suitable for ASICs and silicon microsensors.
The project is aiming to develop a miniature low power hybrid circuit devoted to human implantable cardiac prostheses (pacemakers and defibrillators) which are light weight, highly reliable, battery powered systems. A family of three integrated circuits using the most advanced technologies based on submicronic mixed ANALOG/DIGITAL BiCMOS and HIGH VOLTAGE protection processes will be designed. The size reduction is achieved implementing a plastic chip scale packaging process.
