DIMES-01, a baseline BIFET process for smart sensor experimentation

Abstract The DIMES-01 BIFET baseline process is presented. The process and devices are described in relationship to their application in integrated silicon sensor research and development. In particular, the possibilities of introducing special sensor process modules and steps are treated.
