  2. T2.5 Task (2/1) • Task T2.5: PV-aware compact modelling • PV and reliability effects have to be implemented in device compact models to be able to accurately describe the impact of variability on circuit operation. Implementation methodologies will be worked out and adopted in standard compact modeling. • Partners: UNET, AMS, LETI, NMX, NXP, POLI, STF2, ST-I, UNGL • UNGL will develop compact model parameter extraction strategies that capture accurately the statistical device variability and the statistical aspects of reliability in industrial standard compact models including BSIM, BSIMSOI and PSP. POLI will be developing PV aware compact models in conjunction with the activities carried out in task 2.2, on the basis of the so-called sensitivity approach. The approach will be exploited for the development of quasi-static models (through the implementation of the DC sensitivity concept) and of dynamic models (through the implementation of the large-signal sensitivity concept). The strategy allows very efficient compact models, also accounting for the PV statistics, to be developed, also taking into account the correlation between different input parameters, provided that the input statistics is modelled in closed form. Such models will be deriving their parameters from physics-based simulations or characterizations. The modelling strategy will be mainly applied to the CMOS 45/32nm process, but can be taken into consideration for other technologies like GaAn/AlGaN power or RF devices as well. The compact models will be implemented within the framework of a suitable circuit simulation platform.The aim of the activity of ST-I is to develop a statistical Spice model for the design of complex nano-scale IC starting from TCAD simulations directly linked to process fluctuations due to equipments specifications. In this flow numerical techniques will be introduced in order to reduce the number of technology CAD simulations to be performed to extract the statistical model of a single device fabrication process and as consequence to reduce the computational costs and the time consumed; at the same time techniques will be used to reduce the number of circuit simulations for extraction of the statistical spice model of the IC, taking advantage of multi-objective optimization algorithm for yield analysis in addition AMS will implement reliability effects in device state of the art compact models in order to describe PV for circuit simulation in 0.35um, 0.18um and 0.13um CMOS and HV technologies.

  3. T2.5 Task (2/2) • Task T2.5: PV-aware compact modelling (cont’) • STF2 will focus on the compact modelling of PV effects in bulk CMOS technology and application to the simulation of 45nm devices for circuit design. The work goes through classification of variability relevant sources, development of a formal description of process/device variables and associated compact models extensions in order to allow Monte-Carlo circuit simulation. The compact model extensions derived are intended to reflect systematic and random effects observed in a 45nm core CMOS technology at local scale (mismatch), intra-die scale, and interdie, and their layout dependence. NXP’s contribution will address a realistic physics based implementation method to mimic process variations as well as device fluctuations in analog circuit simulation using the PSP compact model. This will initially be done for all device types in a relatively mature 45nm CMOS node using the standard bulk CMOS PSP model. Subsequently, the methodology will be ported, adjusted and refined to more advanced 40-32 and possibly 22nm bulk CMOS nodes. With further scaling it becomes mandatory to come up with viable analytical modeling approaches to efficiently incorporate new physics phenomena and their fluctuations in compact models, including quasi ballistic transport (QTB) features and the impact of variations of the dielectric thickness, channel doping and stress conditions, and with viable compact modeling approaches to reach the best trade-off between accuracy and statistics, including variability. UNET will address these aspects involving new physics for 45/32nm CMOS and for non-volatile memory technologies. NMX will in this task study a viable and effective implementation of an analytical compact model which takes into account PV in NVM logic devices (implementation of the characterization performed in WP2.3) and the impact random dopant, edge roughness, and trap position on scaled NVM cells; joint activities together with UNET are planned. Collaborations with ST-I and NMX are envisioned. Starting from BSIMSOI and an in-house PSP modified thin film device model, LETI will develop statistical modeling of the correlations between model parameters and variability sources for the FDSOI 22nm technologies. This will be used to classify and quantify FDSOI variability sources. Project Review Meeting Crolles, June 22, 2009
