First fully integrated, monolithic CMOS+MEMS oscillator device Innovative Poly-SiGe Surface-Micromachining Process
The frequency control market is largely dominated by quartz products, but silicon timing solutions have a strong value proposition for some sub-markets.
The Si504 is the first silicon oscillator from Silicon Labs. Manufactured with the CMEMS process (CMOS + MEMS), the crystal elements are replaced by micromachined semiconductor resonators.
CMEMS process consists in a monolithic integration of a CMOS circuit with innovative Poly-SiGe (polycrystalline silicon-germanium) MEMS resonator structures manufactured directly above CMOS metallization.
The resonator is then vacuum encapsulated with a silicon cap using an eutectic wafer bonding process.
With a die size below 1mm², the Si504 is optimized to support high-volume, low-cost applications such as consumer electronics market.

DISCLAIMER : System Plus Consulting provides cost studies based on its knowledge of the manufacturing and selling prices of electronic components and systems. The given values are realistic estimates which do not bind System Plus Consulting nor the manufacturers quoted in the report.

The reverse costing analysis is conducted in 3 phases:
Teardown analysis
• Package is analyzed and measured• The dies are extracted in order to get overall data: dimensions, main blocks, pad number and pin out, die marking• Setup of the manufacturing process.
Costing analysis
• Setup of the manufacturing environment• Cost simulation of the process steps
Selling price analysis
• Supply chain analysis• Analysis of the selling price
Reverse costing analysis represents the best cost/price evaluation given the publically available data, and estimates completed by industry experts.
Given the hypothesis presented in this analysis, the major sources of correction would lead to a +/- 10% correction on the manufacturing cost (if all parameters are cumulated)
These results are open for discussion. We can reevaluate this circuit with your information. Please contact us:USA Office• Michael McLaughlin, Business Development Manager, Phone: (650) 931 2552 - Cell: (408) 839 7178 - Email: [email protected]
