OVERVIEW

The number of transistor will double in every 18 months

i.. Feature size scaling will help to improve speed, area and power
ii. Now at 22nm and 16nm technologies
iii. Use FinFET and UTB-SOI transistors

DEVICES

nMOS Transistor
 Four terminals: gate, source, drain, body
 Gate – oxide – body stack looks like a capacitor
– Gate and body are conductors
– SiO2 (oxide) is a very good insulator
– Called metal – oxide – semiconductor (MOS)
capacitor
Source Gate Drain
– Even though gate is Polysilicon
no longer made of metal SiO2

pMOS Transistor
 Similar, but doping and voltages reversed
– Body tied to high voltage (VDD)
– Gate low: transistor ON
– Gate high: transistor OFF
– Bubble indicates inverted behavior

Power Supply Voltage
 GND = 0 V
 In 1980’s, VDD = 5V
 VDD has decreased in modern processes
– High VDD would damage modern tiny transistors
– Lower VDD saves power
 VDD = 3.3, 2.5, 1.8, 1.5, 1.2, 1.0, …
 FOLLOW TECHNOLOGY’S FEATURE SIZE

Complementary CMOS
• Complementary CMOS logic gates

– nMOS pull-down network pMOS
pull-up
– pMOS pull-up network

network
inputs
– a.k.a. static CMOS

output
nMOS
pull-down
network
• nMOS: pass good 0’s, so connect source to GND

• pMOS: pass good 1’s, so connect source to VDD
1: Circuits & Layout 54

Static CMOS Circuit Design
1. Static CMOS = 1 input connects to 1 NMOS and 1
PMOS
2. Use simplified expression to draw the transistor
connections (series/parallel).
3. Construct the circuit for pull down NMOS block based
on the rules below:
+ = parallel
* = series
4. Construct the circuit for pull up PMOS block based on the
rules below:
* = parallel
+ = series
5.Use boxes to represent transistors!!

LAYOUT
TECHNIQUES

Gate Layout
• Layout can be very time consuming

– Design gates to fit together nicely
– Build a library of standard cells
• Standard cell design methodology
– VDD and GND should abut (standard height)
– Adjacent gates should satisfy design rules
– nMOS at bottom and pMOS at top
– All gates include well and substrate contacts
METHOD FOR LAYOUT
• BASIC GATES CKT TO LAYOUT

• SERIES/PARALLEL
• UYEMURA’S METHOD
• EULER PATH
