Milenkovic 1 8/1/005 SI Design I; A. Milenkovic ayout Chips are specified with set of masks Minimum dimensions of masks determine transistor size (and hence speed, cost, and power) Feature size f = distance between source and drain Set by minimum width of Feature size improves 0% every years or so Normalize for feature size when describing design rules Express rules in terms of λ = f/ E.g. λ = 0. µm in 0.6 µm process Simplified Design Rules Conservative rules to get you started 8/1/005 SI Design I; A. Milenkovic 8/1/005 SI Design I; A. Milenkovic 4 Inverter ayout Transistor dimensions specified as Width / ength Minimum size is 4λ / λ, sometimes called 1 unit In f = 0.6 µm process, this is 1. µm wide, 0.6 µm long Summary MOS Transistors are stack of, oxide, silicon Can be viewed as electrically controlled switches Build logic s out of switches Draw masks to specify layout of transistors Now you know everything necessary to start designing schematics and layout for a simple chip! 8/1/005 SI Design I; A.

7 Design Rules Interface between the circuit designer and process engineer Guidelines for constructing process masks Unit dimension: minimum line width scalable design rules: lambda parameter absolute dimensions: micron rules Rules constructed to ensure that design works even when small fab errors (within some tolerance) occur A complete set includes set of layers intralayer: relations between objects in the same layer interlayer: relations between objects on different layers Why Have Design Rules? To be able to tolerate some level of fabrication errors such as 1. Mask misalignment. Dust. Process parameters (e.g., lateral diffusion) 4. Rough surfaces 8/1/005 SI Design I; A.
