SEOUL, South Korea and
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MagnaChip
Semiconductor Corporation ("MagnaChip") (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based
designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor
products, announced today that it now offers a 0.35 micron 700V
Ultra High Voltage process technology with process simplification
that reduces manufacturing time and cost. This Ultra High Voltage
(UHV) process offers 700V nLDMOS, 700V JFET, 30V n/pMOS(Vg=Vd=30V)
and 5.5V CMOS devices that are ideal for manufacturing AC-DC
converter ICs and LED driver ICs.
Millions of home appliances use AC power, but there also are
many millions of high-performance and cost-sensitive products in
high-growth markets that use AC-DC chargers, AC-DC converter ICs
and LED driver ICs. The demanding technical specifications of these
products require substantial improvements in the price-performance
of the UHV process technology used in the manufacture of AC-DC
converter ICs or LED driver ICs, particularly for the industrial
lighting market.
MagnaChip provides various types of UHV technology to meet the
demanding needs of customer requirements for improved UHV
processes. HP35ULA700, the newly developed UHV process, eliminates
four photolithography steps through process simplification --
making it possible to reduce manufacturing cost and accelerate a
company's time to market. Among the devices offered in HP35ULA700
are 700V low Ron nLDMOS, 400V/500V nLDMOS, 700V JFET, 30V high
voltage device, 5.5V CMOS, BJT, 700V resistor, fully isolated 30V
diode, BP cap, and MIM and fuse. All of these devices enable the
integrated solution of AC-DC converter ICs and LED driver ICs. The
700V low Ron nLDMOS devices offer improved specific-on-resistance
of 150 mohm·cm2, which is approximately 30% lower as
compared with MagnaChip's previous-generation UHV technology. In
addition, the devices enable various design schemes, including the
possibility to separate or connect the source and the bulk in
nLDMOS. The UHV device, which is structured to assign single power
30V to Vg and Vd, enables more simple circuits in product
design.
Customers already have adopted MagnaChip's 0.35 micron 700V
Ultra High Voltage Process Technology, with many engagements
currently in the design stage.
YJ Kim, MagnaChip's Chief Executive Officer, commented,
"Our 0.35 micron 700V Ultra High Voltage technology provides
our foundry customers with a high-performance, highly efficient
manufacturing process for AC-DC converter ICs and LED driver ICs
for various industrial lighting applications." Mr. Kim added, "To
meet diverse customer requirements, MagnaChip will continue to
develop new UHV technologies such as customer-specific UHV
processes and high-side UHV processes."
