3 Outline: DFM A brief history of DFM Yield and Design Rules at 45, 32 and 22 nm Design For Manufacturability (DFM) Layout Printability Verification (across PW) Holistic Design Rules Selection/Optimization Towards Design Layout Regularity Advanced DFM Applications Conclusions: DFM enabling 22 nm and below Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 3
4 Variability Basics [I] At the limits of the geometric scaling roadmap : variability as a percentage of feature size increases: atoms don t scale kt/q doesn t scale photons don t scale Main factors: Intrinsic process variability Environmental effects Physical limits Variability affects Yield, Performance, and Power Variability can be classified as random and systematic Physical limits cause random variations (e.g. dopant fluctuations) Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 4
5 Variability Basics [II] Variability occurs at different length scales Across a single transistor (or wire) Transistor to transistor Across Die Across Wafer Wafer to Wafer Lot to Lot Often systematic effects are considered random only because it is difficult (or impossible) to characterize them Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 5
6 Lithography related variability Scanner Design Mask/OPC Wafer Resist Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 6
7 dev Mask related variability Mask Process Etch and develop signatures Loading density dependent Mask Proximity Effects E-beam exposure noise Range: Stepper Field (across die), Gate-to Gate Magnitude: Total 5-10nm on mask (1.5-2nm on wafer) Linearities CD Target dense clear iso clear dense dark iso dark Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 7
8 OPC related variability OPC Errors, Model Accuracy, Algorithm Convergence Model Errors: Lead to systematic CD errors, e.g. through pitch OPC Convergence: Mask making limits or numerical errors lead to CD errors (quasi-random) Post OPC CD through pitch Range: Gate to Gate Systematic and random Magnitude: 2nm for restricted pitches, 5-10nm for all pitches Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 8
9 Wafer related variability Variation Across Scanner Field Causes: Focus Leveling, Dose Uniformity, Lens Aberrations (additional influence from mask) Range: Across Field (Across Die), Die to Die Systematic Magnitude: 1-2nm Top Right Die Shows Low CD Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 9
10 Resist related variability Line Edge Roughness (LER) CD Variation along Line Edge Dependent on resist type, resist processing, resist etch Range: Intra-Gate W=100nm Random Magnitude: depends on length scale, 1nm-3nm (1s) CD vs tgt (nm) W=1000nm CD vs tgt (nm) Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 10
11 Edge Placement Error (nm) Edge Placement Error (nm) Design related variability Layout Regularity OPC can minimize CD variation at one focus position for different layout styles Range: Gate to Gate Magnitude: 3-5nm Both systematic and random Mitigation: Uniform Layout reduces CD variation through-focus Smaller Variation of Average CD Smaller Variation of CD range Conventional Layout Defocus (um) CD Variation Post-OPC (10,000 gates simulated) Restricted Design Rules Defocus (nm) Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 11
12 CMP related variability Metal layers of modern submicron process are chemical-mechanically polished. CMP is a process that has all types of variations: Lot to lot (systematic) wafer to wafer (systematic) Within wafer (systematic) Within die (quasi-random) Except for some- within-die variations, all of these are uncorrelated from metal level to metal level Variations in thickness can be very significant, easily up to 50% variations in thickness and hence R and C However, essentially all of these variations are uncorrelated from layer to layer Moreover, R max correlates with C min, and vice versa: you never get the case of C max *R max or C min * R min R/um C/um RC/um^2 short nom tall nm fine pitch metal, arbitrary units Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 12
13 CMP variability mitigation: Tiling TILING Helps balancing low density regions & reducing standard deviation Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 13
14 Temperature related variability Variations in temperature can have significant impact on device performance and reliability W These variations can be very local (transistor self-heating) Or semi-global: block-level caused by high activity factor High temperatures raise Vt, lower Ion, raise Ioff Ion only varies ~10% between 25 and 100C Ioff can vary 5-10X This effect is deterministic in an ideal world (temp effects are in the models); in the real world, quasi-random Engineering judgement has to be used to evaluate circuits and blocks that are vulnerable to heating. Temperature effects are more important for reliability than for performance. Can have exponential impacts on Gate oxide lifetime, EM All fingers on L Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 14

66 Top 5+1 challenges for DFM 1. Flow interoperability and standard interfaces (models, data, XML) - requires Tool Equipment Vendors, EDA Software Vendors, FAB and DESIGN entities to collaborate [difficult] 2. Predictive modeling (ETCH, CMP, etc.) to be developed using a paradigm similar to the successful RET/OPC one (i.e. fix-it) 3. Integrated Data Mining for Process Variability Data (both simulation and experimental) directly interfaced with Design Flows 4. Process Aware Synthesis and Place & Route (not a simple problem but a fundamental enabler for 22 nm) 5. DFM Silicon Verification and predictive Yield Models (essential to quantify ROI in DFM) Require also substantial advances in Metrology Automation (CAD) Process-Variability-Aware System Architectures design time run time Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D. - R&D Fellow - GLOBALFOUNDRIES Managed Variability and DFM 66
