Product catalog summary
Introduction
MAZeT GmbH specializes in developing high-quality, cost-efficient ASICs for small to medium market segments, focusing on reducing Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) costs through methods like Multi-Level Masks and Multi-Project Wafers.
ASIC Design Process
The design process begins after setting up design rules and cell libraries. MAZeT offers front-end and back-end design services, utilizing leading CAD tools for flexibility. The process includes technical support, net lists, layout, and package types, followed by Design Rule Check (DRC) and Layout versus Schematic (LVS) to finalize mask data.
Benefits of Multi-Project Wafers and Multi-Level Masks
Multi-Project Wafers (MPW) combine multiple design projects to minimize NRE costs, reducing them to about 10% of a full prototyping wafer run. Multi-Level Masks (MLM) further reduce costs by dividing mask areas into layers, cutting the number of masks needed by a factor of four.
MAZeT Services
MAZeT provides a comprehensive range of services including ASIC solution analysis, IC development, system simulations, redesign of obsolete ICs, circuit design, error evaluation, prototype development, and custom packaging solutions. They offer all-in-one support from design to series production.
Key to Success
Understanding specific applications and implementing optimal solutions is crucial for saving NRE costs. MAZeT leverages over 20 years of experience to optimize systems beyond common foundry capabilities, covering the full supply chain and improving time-to-market and yield optimization.
Technologies and Methods
MAZeT utilizes various technologies such as photo detectors, low-noise amplifiers, multi-channel converters, opto-filter design, and system-in-package solutions. They ensure quality results in final applications through simulation and test environments.
Qualification Procedures
The qualification process involves reliability and environmental tests to meet industry standards like JEDEC, ensuring high-quality silicon and durability.
Product Features
MAZeT offers products like photo detectors with high SNR, low-noise amplifiers with configurable gain, multi-channel converters with high dynamic range, and opto-filter designs tailored to specific applications.

ASIC Design Service Guide-2

SERVICE GUIDE For common foundries it is a difficult task to develop high quality and cost-efficient ASICs for small to medium market segments. The problem is that the Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) costs often boost the overall price to a region that makes a custom ASIC design inefficient. MAZeT has specialized in tackling these problems by reducing NRE costs via various methods like Multi-Level Masks or Multi-Project Wafers, etc. to improve the ASIC design process. After the customer sets up the design rules, cell libraries and further requests the ASIC design can directly begin. MAZeT's services...
