22 Topics 1 Overview of the CMOS fabrication process 2 Geometric design rules João Canas Ferreira (FEUP) CMOS: Fabrication principles and design rules / 35

23 Design rules The geometric design rules are a contract between the foundry and the designer. These rules are the designer s interface to the fabrication process. They guarantee that the transfers onto the wafer preserve the topology and geometry of the patterns. Rules specify: minimum separations, minimum and maximum widths, overlap rules Scalable rules: distances are specified as multiples of λ Minimum gate width: 2λ Industrial processes generally state their rules in microns (non-scalable).

25 Substrate contacts Fonte: [Weste11] João Canas Ferreira (FEUP) CMOS: Fabrication principles and design rules / 35

26 Classes of rules Well Definition of: p-well, n-well, deep-n-well. For twin-tub processes only one well may be specified (n-well). Transistors Four masks: active (diffusion), n-select (n-implant), p-select, poly active + n-select + p-well + poly : NMOS transistor active + p-select + n-well + poly : PMOS transistor active + n-select + n-well + contact : contact to well active + p-select + p-well + contact : contact to well/substrate Some systems create the active masks from the select masks. Contacts One mask metal1/p-active, metal/n-active, metal-poly, metal/substrato fixed size; use more than one contact in parallel Metal Rule values depend on the level (increasingly larger and more separated) Rules for connection between metal levels (vias): modern processes allow stacked vias.
