1 Pre Silicon to Post Silicon Overview Adam Norman Intel Corp. PCCG
2 What is Pre-Silicon? It is the design Phase of a platform, which is done before silicon/packages/boards have been fabricated. It can take many years of pre-silicon work to create a CPU. Typically, the design work is done with simulation. Optimization of design Tradeoffs ( power, area, cost, features, risk ) Robustness studies 2
3 What is the relationship between Pre and Post?? Questions to class before we learn more about Pre-Silicon methods What can you simulate? How accurate is the simulations? How many simulations should I run? What do you trust more? Simulation or Measurement? 3
4 Simulation Domains Pre Layout Sims Silicon and/or boards parameterized Post Layout Sims Silicon and/or Boards Extracted Active Transistors Circuits/Devices Feedback Passive Power Deliver Network (PDN) Transmission Lines Physical (PCB, Sockets, Conn.) Vias Discrete components R,L,C 4
5 Active vs Passive Simulation Active, generally has non-linear and/or time varying elements. Transient simulation is usually performed SPICE is most common simulator Passive is generally Linear Time-invariant (LTI) 3D structures usually simulated with Full-wave solvers : Can you name some 3D solvers? Output is Frequency Domain (S-parameters) 2D structures, can use simpler/faster solvers Many output formats, RLGC, tabular W-element, S-param. Combining the Active + Passive elements Transient simulation is needed Commonly used tool is HSPICE 5
6 Pre Silicon Disciplines Circuit (I/O) Design Focus on Active portion (circuits) Transmitter and Receivers Understanding PVT impact on Jitter Signal Integrity Focus on Board + Circuit Power Integrity Focus on PDN + Circuit 6

8 Post Layout Extraction 8
9 How do you use the Simulations? Class Exercise 9
10 Goal specific methodologies PathFinding Comparative analysis HVM. Class Exercise [ List Variables] Heart of Signal Integrity at Intel Validation Post Layout? Transistor Models 10
11 Variation Sources Manufacturing variation (HVM) Tolerances Design Variable CLASS EXERCISE : LIST 20 parameters Time Varying (temporal) Temperature Voltage Noise 11
12 What do you measure in Simulations? Simulation has the luxury of infinite observability. How does this compare to Post-Silicon Measurements? King of metrics is the eye-diagram. Time Domain metric Many other waveform and Frequency Domain based metrics Setup/Hold timing Ringback Level Non-monotonicities Slewrate 12
13 How do you get an eye diagram? 2 Typical approaches Pattern simulation (aka empirical) Peak Distortion Analysis (aka analytic) 13
14 Eye Diagram CLASS DEMO Strobe/CLK Setup Hold Voltage Margin 14
15 Peak Distortion Finding Worst Case Eye 15
16 Sample Pulse Response EACH DOT SEPERATED EXACTLY BY 1 UI UI = BIT WIDTH precursor cursor postcursors 16

18 LTI property: Superposition In Out Tx symbol Pulse response
19 LTI property: Superposition of symbols In Out Tx symbol Response to pattern
20 LTI property: Superposition of coupled symbols In Out Tx symbol FEXT Pulse response 20
21 LTI property: Superposition of coupled symbols In Out Tx symbol FEXT response 21

23 LTI property: Superposition of coupled symbols Out Insertion loss response Tx symbol
24 LTI property: Superposition of coupled symbols Out Tx symbol FEXT response Insertion loss response Tx symbol Composite response 24
25 Peak Distortion Analysis Must apply to Linear time-invariant system Superposition applies Interference of symbols on same wire Interference of symbols on different coupled channels 25

27 Worst-case VWC0 = ISI + 27
28 Worst-case 1 28
29 Worst-case VWC1 = cursor + ISI - 29

34 This is what we want to predict! 1,000,000 Units Notes: 1. Customer determines the fail. Not the spec. 2. With perfect prediction we would have 0 Factory Rejects and XX Customer Fails. - How do get there? This is the goal for Pre-Silicon and Post-Silicon predictions. Intel has been evolving tools/methods towards this predictive goal. Such that, we can optimize cost and performance while still meeting Reliability ( DPM or customer Fails) and Yield ( Factory Rejects) 34targets.
35 Customer Fails How do we get there? Starting from a perfect prediction. Build 1million systems - predict all variation sources Notes: 1. Infinite number of assumptions are completely known, including customer fail definition. Nothing uncontrolled 2. This could be pre-silicon or Post-Silicon - What happens in reality? This is the goal for Pre-Silicon and Post-Silicon predictions. If we could perfectly predict customer margin, then we could optimize such that we meet reliability targets with no yield loss. 35
36 Customer Fails? Customer Fails Pre-Silicon Predictions Predicting Heavy tails Perfect Prediction Correlation? Notes: Numerous factors for deviation from perfect 1. Pre-Silicon assumptions - Stimulus, # of aggressors - Driver Models, Jitter - Eye Mask 2. Missing variables and noise 3. Imperfect Simulator Goal for the evolution of Pre-Silicon Tools and methods is to Tractably close this gap 36
37 Customer Fails? Customer Fails Post-Silicon Predictions Predicting Light tails Perfect Prediction Correlation? Notes: Numerous factors for deviation from perfect 1. Post-Silicon assumptions - Stimulus - Sampling Scheme 2. Missing variables and noise 3. Uncontrolled variables 4. Measurement error Goal for the evolution of Post-Silicon Tools and methods is to Tractably close this gap 37
38 Customer Fails Correlation? Customer Fails Customer Fails Correlation Paths What matters? PreSilicon Prediction Perfect Prediction ( reality) PostSilicon Prediction Notes: 1. Good engineering is necessary to proper Assess risk. By understanding limitations And assumptions in both predictive domains the best risk decision can be made Although Pre to Post Silicon Correlation is most commonly targeted, Don t forget about the bigger goal. Don t confuse the map with the 38 terrain
39 Customer Fails Customer Fails How did we evolve to this picture? PreSilicon Prediction PreSilicon Evolution Physics:: Lossless Lossy Crosstalk SIPI Methods:: MC DOE PDA BER DPM Post Silicon Evolution PostSilicon Prediction DFx:: Voltage Margin Timing Margin BER Methods:: MC DOE GA BER DPM The evolution of both methods is valuable to study. And, of course, new methods/techniques are always being added. 39

Guardband must always be consistent with the assumptions. - KIT of information. 2. All facets of PreSilicon method evolve 3. Simulator capability and need dictate the physics modeling. 4, Note that methods/techniques are rarely thrown away. Efficiency and 40
41 Summary Pre-Silicon simulations are a valuable part of the design process. Excellent means for understanding and optimizing under HVM variation Are they perfect? No Should you still do validation? Yes 41
