Hello all,
I'm from India. I'm much interested in the fabrication of an analog IC. There is no low cost fab in India. How do I make my IC get fabricated. Consider,for example, a Delta-Sigma A/D converter or even an OpAmp IC for that matter... what are the steps that I have to go through to get my IC fabricated...and how much cost would it take to get through all the steps..Any relevant help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Regards
M Arivalagan
 

Most foudrys run multi project wafer (MPW) programs, about every 3 months. This allows a customer to try out a design at a lower cost. The Foundry gives the customer about 50 parts (devices) for a cost of about $20,000 USD. So it is not cheap. Also, this is just the bare silicon device - not assembled in a package. To test it, you would need very expensive probe equipment.

It is not something someone could afford to do alone.
