Lab Description
The following lab is about the generation of a test chip used to make real measurements
of IC circuitry. Several circuits and components are implemented in a
pad that is
prepared for fabrication. This is a team effort in which Rhyan, Do, and Michael contribute to
parts of the chip.
Prelab
The prelab involves the creation of a 40 pin padframe. The pad frame is made up of 40
75µm x 75µm pads.
The pad consistes of a layer of metal3 with an overglass layer marked above to indicate where the
overglass will be removed during fabrication.
The pad is then formatted to be fabricated on a 75µm x 75µm chip.
The chip has 40 pins including source and ground and takes a square topology
with 10 pins per side. The following is the schematic for the pad.
Next is the layout for the bondingpad.
With the bondingpad prepared, an IC circuit is ready to be implemented.
Lab
During this part of the lab, components are instantiated and added to the bonding pad.
