Summary of Terminology • body • diffusion (n/p) • source • drain • well • tap • contact • metal track • via • polysilicon gate length/width • gate oxide • channel • All these structures must obey the dimensions and separation rules dictated by the process fabrication facility
Process design rules • Design rules change from fab to fab • Fab examples: IBM, Intel, TI, TSMC, UMC, MOSIS • Design rules change according to the process technology
Lambda rules • Feature Size: minimum distance between source and drain of transistor • Feature size = 2λ (@ 90nm feature size λ=45) • According to Moore’s Law, how much does the feature size scale by every ~2 years?
Design rules and gate layout • Lambda rules are conservative
Stick diagrams • No need to be drawn to scale
