DSM65nm ASIC technology Perspectives
Quatuor cut1 will be fully measured in Q4 2010
Quatuor cut2 and ESCC preliminary evaluation proposed to EC FP7 (seems rejected)
Library-cells preliminary test-chip measurement campaigns under investigation with CNES, ESA in 2010 and early 2011.
Telecom Structured ASIC Base development proposed to FP7 in Dec2008.
First ASIC library test-chip possible in 2011 with:
Final Space-std-cells
Metal-customizable Space-cells
PLL, DDR
High pin count Flip-chip packaging solution
…depending on proposals outcomes with CE, ESA, CNES, gvts. And industrial priorities.

Conclusions
KIPSAT is THE baseline project which permits:
Assessment of the ST 65nm for Space
Complete measurements of a high perf quad-HSSL
Definition of ASIC library needs and start of development of set of Rad-Hard cells
To grow the technical team dedicated to space DSM within ST/APM
KIPSAT is not sufficient to secure 65nm DSM technology viable offer to end-user for ASICs.
We must add the future stones together with correct level of budget, roles, schedule…
