TowerJazz Awarded Five-Year Multi-Million Dollar Foundry Improvement and Sustainability Program in Partnership with US Air Force
Technology Investment Agreement focused on support of Air Force’s Large Die ROIC Program and continued improvements for TowerJazz’s US facility
TowerJazz continues to expand CMOS production for ROICs used in imaging arrays in both un-cooled and cooled applications in support of increased demand spanning 0.5-micron to 0.18-micron technology nodes. The five year program with the Title III Office will focus on the most advanced 0.18-micron CMOS process based large-die, stitched ROICs. In the 0.18-micron node, TowerJazz is making available to its ROIC customers its 1.8V/3.3V or 1.8V/5V dual gate oxide processes in a variety of substrate options such as bulk, epi and thick film SOI and with a wide range of desirable mixed-signal features from its commercial technology including high density linear MIM capacitors, precision resistors with triple well isolation and bipolar elements. TowerJazz also provides cryogenic models for its devices ensuring a high degree of confidence in the first time success of cooled ROIC designs.
TowerJazz operates a full on-shore facility with ITAR mask suppliers
continuing a tradition started over 20 years ago when this facility was
the primary semiconductor manufacturing site for
“TowerJazz is extremely excited to have this opportunity to partner with
Wright-Patterson AFB in support of the Air Force’s Large Die ROIC
foundry improvement and sustainability program. This program will
leverage past and ongoing accomplishments at TowerJazz in support of
on-shore fabrication critical to our National Defense and assist in
enabling the next generation of essential Aerospace and Defense
applications,” said
