2 Invention of the Transistor Vacuum tubes ruled in first half of 20th century Large, expensive, power-hungry, unreliable 1947: first point contact transistor John Bardeen and Walter Brattain at Bell Labs Read Crystal Fire by Riordan, Hoddeson 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 2

3 Transistor Types Bipolar transistors npn or pnp silicon structure Small current into very thin base layer controls large currents between emitter and collector Base currents limit integration density Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors nmos and pmos MOSFETS Voltage applied to insulated gate controls current between source and drain Low power allows very high integration 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 3

4 MOS Integrated Circuits 1970 s processors usually had only nmos transistors Inexpensive, but consume power while idle Intel bit SRAM Intel bit mproc 1980s-present: CMOS (Complementary MOS) processes for low idle power 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 4

5 Moore s Law Original (1965) Gordon Moore (Fairchild) The number of transistors on an IC would double every year. Revised (1975) Gordon Moore (Intel) A doubling every two years, rather than every year. Moore: "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits" Electronics, Vol. 38, No. 8, 1965 IEEE, IEDM Tech Digest (1975) 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 5

6 Moore s Law Moore's law suggests exponential growth (2x every 18 months) Is not about performance, not about chip size Hinted about the cost reduction Exponential transistor count Exponential complexity 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 6

7 Silicon Lattice Transistors are built on a silicon substrate Silicon is a Group IV material Forms crystal lattice with bonds to four neighbors Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 7

8 Dopants Silicon is a semiconductor Pure silicon has no free carriers and conducts poorly Adding dopants increases the conductivity Group V: extra electron (n-type) Group III: missing electron, called hole (p-type) Si Si - Si Si Si + Si Si + As Si Si B - Si Si Si Si Si Si Si 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 8

11 nmos Operation Body is commonly tied to ground (0 V) When the gate is at a low voltage: P-type body is at low voltage Source-body and drain-body diodes are OFF No current flows, transistor is OFF Source Gate Drain Polysilicon SiO 2 n+ p n+ bulk Si S 0 D 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 11

12 nmos Operation When the gate is at a high voltage: Positive charge on gate of MOS capacitor Negative charge attracted to body Inverts a channel under gate to n-type Now current can flow through n-type silicon from source through channel to drain, transistor is ON Source Gate Drain Polysilicon SiO 2 n+ p n+ bulk Si S 1 D 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 12

22 CMOS Fabrication CMOS transistors are fabricated on silicon wafer Lithography process similar to printing press On each step, different materials are deposited or etched Easiest to understand by viewing both top and cross-section of wafer in a simplified manufacturing process Video from Intel: 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 22

32 Strip Photoresist Strip off remaining photoresist Use mixture of acids called piranha etch (H 2 SO 4 + H 2 O 2 ) Necessary so resist doesn t melt in next step SiO 2 p substrate 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 32

33 n-well n-well is formed with diffusion or ion implantation Diffusion Place wafer in furnace with arsenic gas Heat until As atoms diffuse into exposed Si Ion Implantation Blast wafer with beam of As ions Ions blocked by SiO 2, only enter exposed Si SiO 2 n well 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 33

34 Strip Oxide Strip off the remaining oxide using HF Back to bare wafer with n-well Subsequent steps involve similar series of steps p substrate n well 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 34

35 Polysilicon Deposit very thin layer of gate oxide < 20 Å (6-7 atomic layers) Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) of silicon layer Place wafer in furnace with Silane gas (SiH 4 ) Forms many small crystals called polysilicon Heavily doped to be good conductor Polysilicon Thin gate oxide p substrate n well 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 35

44 Layout Chips are specified with set of masks Minimum dimensions of masks determine transistor size (and hence speed, cost, and power) Feature size f = minimum distance between source and drain Set by minimum width of polysilicon Feature size scales ~0.7x every 2 years both lateral and vertical Moore s law Normalize feature size when describing design rules Express rules in terms of λ= f/2 E.g. λ = 90 nm in 180 nm process 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 44

45 Design Rule Design rules ensure the layout is manufacturable. VDD 1 n-well 7 3 p-well 1: Min dist. (poly, contact) 2: Min dist. (metal 1) 3: Min dist. (active, well boundary) : Min width (poly) in out 5: Min width (metal 1) 6: Min dist. (contact) p-well n-well 7: Min dist. (contact, well bounrary) 6 GND 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 45

46 Types of Design Rules Size rules such as min/max width: The dimensions of any component (shape), e.g., length of a boundary edge or area of the shape, cannot be smaller than given min/max values. Separation rules such as min separation: Two shapes, either on the same layer or on adjacent layers, must be a minimum distance apart. Overlap rules such as min overlap: Two connected shapes on adjacent layers must have a certain amount of overlap due to inaccuracy of mask alignment to previously-made patterns on the wafer. Other rules Min/max area, min density etc 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 46

47 Types of Design Constraint Technology constraints Enable fabrication for a specific technology node and are derived from technology restrictions. Examples include minimum layout widths and spacing values between layout shapes. Electrical constraints Ensure the desired electrical behavior of the design. Examples include meeting maximum timing constraints for signal delay and staying below maximum coupling capacitances. Design methodology constraints Introduced to reduce the overall complexity of the design process. Examples include the use of preferred wiring directions during routing, and the placement of standard cells in rows. 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 47

48 VLSI Design Full-Custom Design Mostly used for microprocessor, memory and FPGAs Few design constraint: as long as it can be manufactured, it is allowed High performance, low power, small silicon area, and highly optimized High cost, time consuming, error-prone, and difficult to test Semi-Custom Design Uses standard cells and macro blocks as building materials Regularly place the cells in rows and arrays Need to add wires and vias for interconnection Standard flow exists with silicon-verified tools. Can be easily verified and tested. Short design cycle and time-to-market (Reduce cost) A slight degradation in performance and area (Increase cost) FPGA, PLA 9/5/2017 CSCE/ELEG 4914: Advnaced Digital Design 48
