Analog VLSI Design
• Implementation of analog circuits and systems using integrated
circuit technology.
• Unique Features of Analog IC Design
– Customized design
– Designed at the circuit level.
– Geometry is an important part of the design.
– Usually implemented as a mixed analog- digital circuit
• Typically Analog is 20% and digital 80% of the chip area.
– Analog requires 80% of the design time
• Requires more iterations
– Passes for success: 2-3 for analog, 1 for digital.
• In general, analog circuits are more complex than digital.
– Need to have good knowledge of both circuit analysis, modeling and

– high temperature required to form contacts may destroy
the thin gate oxide.

23 January 2016 25

In reality there is always process variations

23 January 2016 44
Silicon is anisotropic
• Ion implantation is performed at an angle causing
shadow
• Source and drain may not be symmetric due to ion
implantation angle,
– neccessary to avoid implant depth issues (channeling).

23 January 2016 45
Photo-lithographic invariance (PLI)
• Lithography effects are different in different direction.
• Orientation is important in analog circuits for matching
purposes
– C and D are better
– Maintain orientation

C. Gate aligned
D. Parallel gate:

23 January 2016 46
Photo-lithographic invariance (PLI)
• Gate aligned
• Parallel gate:
– Two drains have different
surroundings
– Two sources have different
surroundings
• Current flows in the same
direction

23 January 2016 47
Well Proximity Effect
• High energy ion implants to form the well.
• Scattering from the edge of the photoresist mask, and embedding
in the silicon surface (near well edge).
• Transistors close to the well edge will therefore have different
properties.
• This is known as the well proximity effect (WPE). Important for
matching.

As with S/D,
implantation angle may
render the scattering
and doping asymmetric
23 January 2016 School of ECE, REVA Unversity 48
• Shallow trench isolation strains the active area of the
transistor. Influcences mobility and threshold voltage
(stress induced enhancement or suppression of dopant
diffusion).
• Distance between gate and STI impacts perfomance.
• Important for matching.

Resistors

• All materials have a resistivity


• Typical resistivities
– Metal layer : 0.1 Ohm/square
– n/p-plus contacts and polysilicon: 10-100 Ohm/square
– n-well: 1000 Ohm/square
– low doped poly silicon: 10 k Ohm/square
• more well defined than n-well, i.e. higher accuracy

23 January 2016 75
Poly-Resistors
• Poly Resistors
– Silicidated poly resistors: 1 − 10 Ohm/sq.
• ≈±30%
– Non-silicidated poly resistors: 50-1000 Ohms per sq.
• ≈±20%
• Small parasitic capacitances to substrate.
• Superior linearity.
• High cost due to the extra mask needed to block silicide layer.

23 January 2016 76
Diffusion Resistors
• 100-1000 Ohm/sq
– N-well
• Large error : ≈±40%
• Resistance is strongly terminal voltage-dependent and highly nonlinear.
– Depletion width varies with terminal voltages. The cross-section
area varies with terminal voltages
• noisy as all disturbances/noise from substrate can be coupled directly
onto the resistors
• Large parasitic capacitance between n-well and substrate.

23 January 2016 77
Ion Implanted
• 500-2000 ohms/square
• Accuracy = ±15%
• Parasitic capacitance to substrate is voltage dependent.

23 January 2016 81
Resistor Layout
• Dummy resistors are added to minimizes the effect of process
variation

23 January 2016 82
Shielded Resistors
• Shielding resistors Layout of shielded resistors
– Connected to a constant voltage (S = shielding resistors)
source
• Prevent self-coupling of the
resistor R/inter-coupling
with others.
• Widely used in analog/RF
design.
• Caution
– a mutual capacitance between
the resistor and its shield exist.

23 January 2016 83
Layout of Large Resistors
• Use n-well resistors
– have a large sheet resistance.
• Enclosed by a substrate shielding ring, also known as guard ring,
to isolate the resistors from neighboring devices.

23 January 2016 84
Process Bias Influence on Resistors
• Process bias is where the dimensions of the fabricated
geometries are not the same as the layout data base
dimensions.
• Process biases introduce systematic errors.

23 January 2016 85
Etch Rate Variations – Polysilicon Resistors
• The size of the area to be etched determines the etch
rate. Smaller areas allow less access to the etchant while
larger areas allow more access to the etchant.

23 January 2016 86
Etch Rate Variations – Polysilicon Resistors
• The size of the area to be etched determines the etch
rate. Smaller areas allow less access to the etchant while
larger areas allow more access to the etchant.

It may be advisable to connect the dummy strips to ground or


some other low impedance node to avoid static electrical charge
buildup.
23 January 2016 87
Diffusion Interaction – Diffused Resistors
• Consider three adjacent p+ diffusions into a n epitaxial
region,

• If A, B, and C are resistors that are to be matched, we see that the effective
concentration of B is larger than A or C because of diffusion interaction. This
would cause the B resistor to be smaller even though the geometry is identical.
• Solution: Place identical dummy resistors to the left of A and right of C.
Connect the dummy resistors to a low impedance to prevent the formation of
floating diffusions that might increase the sensitivity to latchup.

23 January 2016 88
Thermoelectric Effects

• The thermoelectric effect, also called the Seebeck effect,


is a potential difference that is developed between two
dissimilar materials that are at different temperatures.
• Two possible resistor layouts with regard to the
thermoelectric effect:

23 January 2016 89
• High sheet resistivity resistors must use p+ or n+ in order to make
contacts to metal. Thus, there is plenty of opportunity for the
thermoelectric effect to cause problems if care is not taken. Below
are three high sheet resistor layouts with differing thermoelectric
performance.

23 January 2016 90
Layout of Matched Resistors
• Inter-Digitized Layout
– Minimizes the effect of process variation in x-direction.
• Dummy resistors are added to ensure both resistors have
the exactly same environment.

23 January 2016 91
Matched Resistors with Temperature Consideration
• Keep away from power devices

23 January 2016 92
Resistor layout guidelines-Matched resistors
• Use same material
• Identical geometry, same orientation
• Close proximity, interdigitate arrayed resistors
• Use dummy elements
• Place resistors in Low stress area
• Place resistors away from power devices
• Use electrostatic shielding

23 January 2016 93
Capacitors

• There are naturally capacitors between each layer of


metal, polysilicon or silicon
• Dielectrics between different metal layers have a
thickness of 0.5-1 micron, which gives a rather large
area for a given capacitance.
• Key Parameters
– Capacitance per unit area
• Larger specific capacitance (capacitance per unit area)
gives smaller area
– Linearity
– Parasitic capacitance to substrate
– Series resistance - resistance of capacitor plates

• In some processes, there is a thin dielectric between a


metal layer and a special metal layer called “capacitor
top metal”. Typically the capacitance is around 1fF/μm2
and is at the level below top metal.
• Good matching is possible with low parasitics

23 January 2016 99
Capacitor Errors
• Edge Effects
• There will always be a randomness on the definition of
the edge. However, etching can be influenced by the
presence of adjacent structures.

23 January 2016 100


NON-IDEAL EFFECTS- UNDER-CUT
• Non-uniform undercut &/or edge
fringing field effects change the
value of designed capacitors.
• The area and perimeter ratio is
preserved if we use layout Ideal case: no undercut

23 January 2016 101
NON-IDEAL EFFECTS-Corner Rounding
• Etching always causes
corner rounding to
some extent.
• This means that
– 90° corners will be
eroded and
– 270° corners will be
have incomplete
removal of material
• In order to overcome
this effect use an equal
number of 90° & 270°
corners

23 January 2016 102

due to a variation in
dielectric thickness across
the wafer.
• Minimize the Effect of
Oxide Thickness in both x
and y-directions.

• C1 and C2 are 2-poly capacitors.
• n-well is employed as a charge
collector to shield the interaction
between the bottom plate and
substrate.
• n-well is biased at multiple
points and connected to a
constant voltage source.
