TSMC -- Non disclosure agreements

For TSMC technologies, EUROPRACTICE can offer you access to technology information, design rules, spice decks, libraries, etc.

The procedure to get access to the TSMC technology information is as follows

European Universities and research institutes, having paid the annual full Europractice membership

They can get access to TSMC 0.25um, 0.18um, 0.13um, 90nm, 65nm and 40nm technologies. The procedure to get access is :  

• For 0.25um, 0.18um, 0.13um and 90nm technology : complete the 025_018_013_90_TSMC-IMEC-customer agreement in 2 copies, sign and send them to IMEC. This has only to be signed once for these 4 technologies. This form has to be signed by a person authorized to sign in the name of the institute. The persons having access need to sign the Confidentiality statement.
       
• For the 65nm technology : complete the 65_TSMC-IMEC-customer agreement in 2 copies, sign and send them to IMEC. This form has to be signed by a person authorized to sign in the name of the institute. The persons having access need to sign the Confidentiality statement.
• For 40nm technology :

• First complete the 40nm-request form and email it to mpc@imec.be
• After approval of TSMC, received through IMEC : complete the 40_TSMC-IMEC-customer agreement in 2 copies, sign and send them to IMEC. This form has to be signed by a person authorized to sign in the name of the institute. The persons having access need to sign the Confidentiality statement.

When IMEC receives the signed agreements, IMEC will give you a password to download to the technology information from EUROPRACTICE-online web platform.


Companies

Companies can get access to 0.25um, 0.18, 0.13um, 90nm, 65nm and 40nm TSMC technologies (approval by TSMC required). Companies wishing to get access to prototyping and initial volume fabrication can ask access by dropping an email to das@imec.be. After approval by TSMC, you will be asked to sign a 3-way NDA (TSMC-IMEC-customer) to get access to TSMC information.
