General instructions for accessing TSMC design rules and cell
libraries.
TSMC Design Rules, Process Specifications, SPICE
Parameters, and Cell Libraries
TSMC's design rules, process specifications, and SPICE corner
parameters are available from MOSIS. SPICE parameters may be used as
design references, but no quantity derived from a simulation should be
treated as a manufacturing tolerance. TSMC considers these items to be
proprietary and only authorizes MOSIS to distribute them to customers
who have established MOSIS commercial accounts and who have signed the
MOSIS Customer Agreement, which includes the following terms in
Section 6C:
EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT DISCLOSE ANY MATERIAL
WHICH MAY BE CONSIDERED PROPRIETARY OR CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OF THE
OTHER PARTY OR OF ANY VENDORS TO ANY THIRD PARTIES. PROPRIETARY
MATERIAL SHALL INCLUDE BUT SHALL NOT BE LIMITED TO, PROPRIETARY VENDOR
INFORMATION SUCH AS YIELD AND PARAMETRIC DATA, WHETHER IT WAS PROVIDED
TO CUSTOMERS OR EXTRACTED BY THEM. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT IT SHALL BE
PRECLUDED BY 18 U.S.C. 1905 AND ANY AND ALL OTHER APPROPRIATE LAWS AND
REGULATIONS FROM KNOWINGLY DIVULGING THE TRADE SECRETS OF THE OTHER
PARTY, AND/OR ANY THIRD-PARTY VENDOR.
