  1. News on the 130 nm technology support Wojciech BIALAS, Kostas KLOUKINAS CERN, PH-ESE dept. CH1211, Geneve 23 Switzerland

  2. 130 nm technology • Foundry services & Technology technical support provided by CERN. CMOS 8RF-DM Low cost technology for Analog & RF designs • Mainstream technology is CMOS8RF-DM • Full support: CERN compiled Mixed-Signal design kit • Secondary stream is CMOS8RF-LM • Full support for in-house on-going projects: CERN compiled Mixed-Signal design kit • not recommended for new designs CMOS 8RF-LM Low cost technology for Large Digital designs Wojciech.Bialas@cern.ch Kostas.Kloukinas@cern.ch

  3. CMOS8RF Mixed Signal design kit PDK Standard cell libraries • Mixed Signal Kit V1.8 • Based on foundry PDK V1.8.0.1 • Released middle this year - 11/6/2011 • Foundry Standard cell and IO pad libraries • Versions of CAE Tools • Compatible with the “Europractice” 2011 distribution. • Open Access database. • Bug fixes and Important updates. • Original IBM PDK 1.7.0.x had several tools compatibility problems • Support for LINUX Platform • Qualified on RHEL4 & RHEL5 CAE Tools Mixed Signal Design Kit • New patch release based on IBM PDK 1.8.0.4 to be available soon • Two design kits available: • CMOS8RF-DM (3-2-3 BEOL) • CMOS8RF-LM (6-2 BEOL) Wojciech.Bialas@cern.ch Kostas.Kloukinas@cern.ch

  4. CMOS8RF Mixed Signal - remarks • Rules • Keep given major release as long as possible, to stabilize design process of many project teams • However, if new original PDK contains critical updates, new Mixed Signal PDK major release is inevitable • Certification process • Depending on changes in original new PDK adaptation to Mixed Signal PDK • Is done in-house (some time is needed) • Development work subcontracted to Cadence,VCAD design services(more time needed! Ex. 2 months) • Close collaboration of CERN - VCAD – IBM • Original IBM PDK patches are always available on our web-site immediately after release • It is strongly recommended to not apply these to Mixed Signal PDK – wait for patch release from CERN Wojciech.Bialas@cern.ch Kostas.Kloukinas@cern.ch

  5. Design Kit Distribution No change in rules • The Mixed Signal Design kit is available to collaborating institutes. • Distributed to 28 Institutes and Universities • No access fees required. • Pay-per-use scheme. • A 7% fee is applied on the fabrication cost (prototyping, production). • This fee covers part of the design kit maintenance costs. • For New Users • To acquire the CMOS8RF Mixed Signal Design Kit • Contact Wojciech.Bialas@cern.ch or Kostas.Kloukinas@cern.ch • Establish a CDA with foundry (if not already in place). • Granted access to the CERN ASIC support web site.

  6. CMOS8RF digital libraries • Currently Available • Regular-Vt core cells • Short-IO Inline, wirebond, Pads • Future Plans – driven by user demand • Regular-Vt core cells at lower supply voltages (1.0 V, 0.8 V) • High-Vt core cells, for low power designs. • “Compact layout” core cells. • Rad-Tolerant cells: ex. DICE • Work items • Layout design • Library characterization • Design kit integration • Digital back-end flow adaptation Wojciech.Bialas@cern.ch Kostas.Kloukinas@cern.ch
