Prototyping and Small-Volume Parts through MOSIS (MOS Implementation System)

摘要

Since 1980, the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California has been managing DARPA's MOS Implementation System (MOSIS) for their VLSI design research community. This paper describes the interrelated activities carried out by designers, MOSIS, and fabricators to generate custom integrated circuit parts. The various MOSIS-supported technologies are listed, and a plan for MOSIS to develop a quality assurance methodology is discussed.
