1 ESE534: Computer Organization Today Day 7: February 8, 2010 VLSI Scaling VLSI Scaling Rules Effects Historical/predicted scaling Variations (cheating) Limits 1 2 Why Care? In this game, we must be able to predict the future Rapid technology advance Reason about changes and trends Re-evaluate prior solutions given technology at time X. Make direct comparison across technologies E.g. to understand older designs What comes from process vs. architecture 3 Why Care Cannot compare against what competitor does today but what they can do at time you can ship Careful not to fall off curve lose out to someone who can stay on curve 4 Preclass When will we have 32-core processors? Scaling Premise: features scale uniformly everything gets better in a predictable manner Bits/DRAM chip in 2020? 5 Parameters: λ (lambda) -- Mead and Conway (class) F -- Half pitch ITRS (F=2λ) 1/κ Dennard S -- Bohr 6 1

2 Feature Size Scaling λ is half the minimum feature size in a VLSI process [minimum feature usually channel width] Channel Length (L) Channel Width (W) Oxide Thickness (T ox ) Doping (N a ) Voltage (V) 7 8 Scaling Channel Length (L) Channel Width (W) Oxide Thickness (T ox ) λ λ λ Doping (N a ) 1/λ Voltage (V) λ Area Capacitance Resistance Threshold (V th ) Current (I d ) Gate Delay (τ gd ) Wire Delay (τ wire ) Power Effects? Go through traditional / ideal then come back and ask what still makes sense today Area Area Perspective λ λ/κ Α = L * W Α Α/κ 2 130nm 90nm 50% area 2 capacity same area

Preliminary Data from 2005 ITRS. HP = High-Performance Logic LOP = Low Operating Power Logic LSTP = Low Standby Power Logic Intrinsic Transistor Delay, τ = CV/I (lower delay = higher speed) Leakage Current (HP: standby power dissipation issues) ITRS 2009 Transistor Speed LOP LSTP HP LOP HP Target: 17%/yr, historical rate 17%/yr rate 21 Planar Bulk MOSFETs LSTP Target: Isd,leak ~ 10 pa/um Advanced MOSFETs RO=Ring Oscillator 22 Resistance Wire Delay R=ρL/(W*t) W W/κ L, t similar R κ R τ wire =R C R κ R C C /κ τ wire τ wire assuming (logical) wire lengths remain constant...
