2 Outline SPICE Model for IC Design FinFET Modeling Challenges Solutions Summary 2015 Synopsys, Inc. 2
3 SPICE Models for IC Design EDA Manufacturing Device Modeling SPICE Models Interconnect Models Design Rules Fabrication GDSII IC Design Memory, SOC, Analogy/RF, HV, Display, Sensor, IPs The bridge between fabrication and IC design Key component of PDK 2015 Synopsys, Inc. 3
4 BSIM-CMG: Industry Standard Compact Model Various device structures Technology Bulk and SOI Channel materials: Si, SiGe, Ge, and InGaAs Production adoption for 16/14/10/7nm Extension and customization are required 2015 Synopsys, Inc. 4
5 Self Heating and MOS Reliability in FinFET FinFET has more pronounced self heating effect (SHE) Increased temperature exacerbates reliability degradation Device aging effect: BTI (Bias Temperature Instability) and HCI (Hot Carrier Injection) Concurrent SHE and reliability analysis Vt ~ exp ( n E a / k B T) BTI & HCI degradation increased ΔT = 20 C EM Imax rule reduced to 0.26x BTI ΔVt increased to 1.30x HCI ΔVt increased to 1.36x Aging simulation 2015 Synopsys, Inc. 5
6 Conventional Aging and Self-Heating Modeling is Insufficient Auxiliary thermal network Performance and convergence One additional node (T) added for each MOSFET, and solved by SPICE Device temperature is updated for every time point in simulation - expensive and prone to convergence issues Lack of good aging models simulation solutions Lack of accurate and efficient aging models Incompatible aging simulation solutions 2015 Synopsys, Inc. 6
7 Self-Heating and EM Analysis Integration EM Imax (Maximum allowed I) reduced I max ~ exp ( E a / k B T) The accuracy of EM rule depends heavily on wire temperatures (5-degree difference may result in ~30% difference) Having an uniform temperature for all wire is convenient but leads to over design Device self heating requires the capability of evaluating the wire temperatures locally T METAL = T joule + T coupling = T joule + a b T od 2015 Synopsys, Inc. 7
8 Parasitic RC in FinFET Many Rs and Cs Complicated to model and challenge to manage accuracy gap between prevs. post- layout R ext R instrinstic R total =R instrinstic +R ext +MEOL_R Increasing parasitic RC impact on circuit characteristics IEDM Synopsys, Inc. 8
