Chip Express' unique LPGA (Laser Programmable Gate Array) technology offers a variety of ASIC products providing 883-B MIL STD Military Reliability Screening. With the unique capability to process one wafer at a time using only OneMask Chip Express is efficiently addressing the military market low volume requirements. In addition, the LPGA has passed various RAD-HARD tests conducted by NASA. The test results indicate that LPGAs are suitable for a range of space flight mission applications. Chip Express allows military design conversions from obsolete ASIC to more advanced process technologies. This paper discusses the LPGA technology, tools and methodology, device architecture, performance and process flow and options for Mil Std. 883 style screening.
