Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-4 Metal migration n Current-carrying capacity of metal wire depends on cross-section. Height is fixed, so width determines current limit. n Metal migration: when current is too high, electron flow pushes around metal grains. Higher resistance increases metal migration, leading to destruction of wire.
5
Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-5 Metal migration problems and solutions n Marginal wires will fail after a small operating period—infant mortality. n Normal wires must be sized to accomodate maximum current flow: I max = 1.5 mA/ m of metal width. n Mainly applies to V DD /V SS lines.

Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-6 Diffusion wire capacitance n Capacitances formed by p-n junctions: n+ (N D ) depletion region substrate (N A ) bottomwall capacitance sidewall capacitances
7
Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-7 Depletion region capacitance n Zero-bias depletion capacitance: –C j0 = si /x d. n Depletion region width: –x d0 = sqrt[(1/N A + 1/N D )2 si V bi /q]. n Junction capacitance is function of voltage across junction: –C j (V r ) = C j0 /sqrt(1 + V r /V bi )

Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-11 Wire resistance n Resistance of any size square is constant:
12
Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-12 Mean-time-to-failure n MTF for metal wires = time required for 50% of wires to fail. n Depends on current density: –proportional to j -n e Q/kT –j is current density –n is constant between 1 and 3 –Q is diffusion activation energy
13
Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-13 Skin effect n At low frequencies, most of copper conductor’s cross section carries current. n As frequency increases, current moves to skin of conductor. –Back EMF induces counter-current in body of conductor. n Skin effect most important at gigahertz frequencies.
14
Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-14 Effect on resistance n Low frequency resistance of wire: –R dc = 1/ wt n High frequency resistance with skin effect: –R hf = 1/2 (w + t) n Resistance per unit length: –R ac = sqrt(R dc 2 + R hf 2 Typically = 1.2.

18
Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-18 Why we need design rules n Masks are tooling for manufacturing. n Manufacturing processes have inherent limitations in accuracy. n Design rules specify geometry of masks which will provide reasonable yields. n Design rules are determined by experience.

21
Modern VLSI Design 3e: Chapter 2Partly from 2002 Prentice Hall PTR week4-21 Wiring problems n Diffusion: changes in doping -> variations in resistance, capacitance. n Poly, metal: variations in height, width -> variations in resistance, capacitance. n Shorts and opens:
