1 Digital Integrated Circuit Design I ECE 425/525 Chapter 3 Professor R. Daasch Depar tment of Electrical and Computer Engineering Portland State University Portland, OR (daasch@ece.pdx.edu) R.Daasch, Por tland State University 1 Apr il 2016
2 Fabr ication of FET circuits is a complex enter prise A circuit designer relates to the fabr ication process indirectly The device electrical character istics are determined by the fabr ication recipe the device models such SPICE or other simulation The device physical character istics are determined by the resolution of the lithography the design rules, extraction rules The circuit perfor mance combines electrical and physical character istics with design decisions Substrates in MOS doped n or p type Silicon (Chemical Symbol Si) NFET is assembled in, on and over p-type Si PFET is assembled in, on and over n-type Si R.Daasch, Por tland State University 2 Apr il 2016
3 CMOS requires both NFET and PFET devices hence n- type Si and p-type Si is needed Well is a region of the opposite type as the substrate Example: A n-type substrate (doped with phosphorus (P)) is compensation doped p-type (doped with boron (B)) Yields a p-type region on the n-type substrate for the constr uction of one or (typically) more NFETs Process flow steps Processing steps for 0. 18µm range from The FET requires 6-10 layers and each layer of metal interconnect 2 or 3 additional layers Metal interconnect layers range from four to seven Most steps require well-controlled chemistry, optics, and mechanical handling. R.Daasch, Por tland State University 3 Apr il 2016
4 Substrate doping concentrations are less than atoms/cm 3 Wafer back-grinding (to reduce the thickness of the wafer so the resulting chip can be put into a thin device like asmar t- card or PCMCIA card.) Processing steps Semiconductor_device_fabrication#List_of_steps in modern electronic device manufacture (not necessarily a specific order) include wafer processing, die processing, package processing, and testing Wafer processing Wet cleans Photolithography Ion implantation (in which dopants are embedded in the wafer creating regions of increased (or decreased) conductivity) R.Daasch, Por tland State University 4 Apr il 2016
5 Dr y etching Wet etching Plasma ashing Ther mal treatments Rapid thermal anneal Fur nace anneals Ther mal oxidation Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) Physical vapor deposition (PVD) Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) Electro-chemical Deposition (ECD). See Electro-plating Chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) R.Daasch, Por tland State University 5 Apr il 2016
6 Wafer testing (where the electrical perfor mance is ver ified) Die preparation Wafer mounting Die cutting IC packaging Die attachment IC Bonding Wire bonding Flip chip Tab bonding IC encapsulation Baking R.Daasch, Por tland State University 6 Apr il 2016
7 Plating Laser-mar king Trim and for m IC testing Patter ning transfer image from mask to current surface of semiconductor wafer Typically photolithography Light sensitive mater ial called photoresist changes chemically after exposure to light Patter n is obtained by removing exposed areas (positive) or unexposed areas (negative) Create n-well regions What is the substrate in this case? Grow oxide SiO 2 silicon dioxide is the heart and soul of Si MOSFET technology R.Daasch, Por tland State University 7 Apr il 2016
8 Field Oxide isolates wires and conductors Field-Ox approximately 1000 angstroms thick Gate Oxide isolate controlling terminal (gate) from conducting channel Gate-Ox is approximately 10 angstroms thick Deposit and Patter n polysilicon polysilicon replaced the or iginal metal (Al) for the gate An amorphous crystal can be patterned more precisely than a metal Doped to yield a conductor with low resistivity Polysilicon patterning is so-called self-aligned Implant transistor terminals, substrate and well contacts each source or drain terminal for ms a reversed biased pn diode R.Daasch, Por tland State University 8 Apr il 2016
9 Open contact holes (windows) and deposit and pattern metal signal conductors are an alloy ofmostly Al and Cu and, more recently Cu Each technology generation requires special structures Polysilicon Self-aligned gate - introduced long ago Grow gate oxide with the sum of the both N active, P active and gate masks Deposit polysilicon (gate electrode) Patter n all polysilicon Etch (remove) gate oxide not patterned by polysilicon (active mask) Implant each active area separately R.Daasch, Por tland State University 9 Apr il 2016
10 Silicide for mation to lower the intrinsic resistance of polysilicon Local interconnects for m a ohmic connection between active and polysilicon without a metal contact Drain engineering Goal is to improve character istics of MOS transistors with ultra-shor t channel. Lightly-doped drain - limit oxide damage from hot electron effects Drain engineering - modifications of the drain and channel region adjacent to drain Lower concentrations ( ) Shallow and near the gate-oxide boundary R.Daasch, Por tland State University 10 Apr il 2016
11 Cross section of FET. Note the active doping var iation is several orders of magnitude lower near channel R.Daasch, Por tland State University 11 Apr il 2016
12 A completed wafer is finally passivated (a glass covering) Contact holes through passivation allow for contact to the package and the outside wor ld Testing is on-going during processing steps, at the waferlevel, package and in the field. Pr inting the pattern of the physical layout is imperfect Defects on the raw, original wafer interfere with printing Each mask has to have precise focus to transfer the patter n to the wafer Mask is the size ofasingle die to as many asdozen die but never entire wafer Focus at wafer edge less reliable than the center Resists and material removed par ticles on wafer can leave unwanted R.Daasch, Por tland State University 12 Apr il 2016
13 Implant, deposition and other addition steps can leave trace materials After each major step (polysilicon, metal1, metal2...) the wafer isreplanar ized R.Daasch, Por tland State University 13 Apr il 2016

19 Physical design defines the patterns to be transferred during fabr ication Physical design is largely controlled by CAD tools Each transistor, the interconnect wires linking them, the power distr ibution, input and output pads are all specified on a 2-dimensional grid of coordinates Layout Design Rules are also known as Physical Design Rules and as just Design Rules Layout Design Rules the contract between the intended circuit and fabr ication Any semiconductor technology CMOS, Bipolar etc. have design rules Each technology node such as 0. 25µm versus 0. 18µm will have different design rules R.Daasch, Por tland State University 19 Apr il 2016
20 Design Rules evolve as the processing for a technology matures Physical Design Rules are the result of what can be physically patterned on the wafer and electrical considerations such field strength, capacitive coupling and the like In some cases two sets of design rules are specified; one set for physical limitations of the fabr ication and a second set detailing the electrical limitations Design rules for both physical and electrical properties specified in physical dimensions Scaling a technologies physical dimensions by a constant factor is one path from technology node to technology node In this situation it is common to define design rules on a dimensionless grid called the lambda grid (λ) R.Daasch, Por tland State University 20 Apr il 2016
21 Constant scaling of physical design rules wor ks well at larger dimensions (ie 0. 8µm and above) At smaller dimensions a single scaling factor the physical design rules may be ver y conser vative potential significant perfor mance loss R.Daasch, Por tland State University 21 Apr il 2016
22 Specifications Circuit Topo Est. Parasitics Design flow at right combines physical and circuit design layers Physical design limited by design rules the geometric Circuit design uses simulation models of active and passive devices Optimization for circuit design includes; power, area, delay, input/output load Optimization may force changes at topology entr y point Optimization Size FETs Prelim Layout Mask Layout DRC Extraction Simulation R.Daasch, Por tland State University 22 Apr il 2016

30 Off-axis imaging opens the angle of the light source to the wafer double pattern/exposure techniques separate one layer into several masks No process produces a perfect result All physical measurements of process layers are distributions Thickness of gate oxide, implants change V T Metal thickness, vias, contacts change wire resistances Typical distributions are Unifor m(), Nor mal() and Lognormal() The effect of the var iation is no two transistors source/sink the same current Compensate for the var iation tolerance by designing a var iation R.Daasch, Por tland State University 30 Apr il 2016
