MunEDA GmbH - Partners » MunEDA Foundry Partners

X-FAB

X-FAB is the world’s largest analog/mixed-signal foundry group manufacturing silicon wafers for mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). Its marketing network and client base span the Americas, Europe and Asia, offering manufacturing capacity of approximately 744,000 200mm-equivalent wafers per year. X-FAB customers benefit from high-performance technologies, excellent technical design and prototyping services; and fast, easy and flexible foundry access worldwide. Privately held and headquartered in Erfurt, Germany, X-FAB has sustained steady growth year over year, often exceeding that of the industry at large. It currently employs approximately 2,500 people worldwide.

X-FAB-MunEDA longlasting partnership

X-FAB and MunEDA have established an official EDA and foundry cooperation since 2007 to support their mutual customers with best-in-class solutions in their respective fields and technologies. MunEDA software tools are available and configured for most of the X-FAB technologies and pdk from 1µm down to 180nm.
