Topics Basic fabrication steps. Transistor structures. Basic transistor behavior. Latch up.

Fabrication processes IC built on silicon substrate: some structures diffused into substrate; other structures built on top of substrate. Substrate regions are doped with n-type and p-type impurities. (n+ = heavily doped) Wires made of polycrystalline silicon (poly), multiple layers of aluminum/copper (metal). Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is insulator.

Simple cross section SiO2 metal3 metal2 metal1 transistor via poly n+ substrate n+ p+ substrate

Photolithography Mask patterns are put on wafer using photo-sensitive material:

Process steps First place tubs to provide properly-doped substrate for n-type, p-type transistors: p-tub n-tub substrate

Process steps, cont’d. Pattern polysilicon before diffusion regions: gate oxide poly poly p-tub n-tub

Process steps, cont’d Add diffusions, performing self-masking: poly p-tub n+ n+ n-tub p+ p+

Process steps, cont’d Start adding metal layers: metal 1 metal 1 vias poly poly p-tub n+ n+ n-tub p+ p+

Level 2 metal Polish SiO2 before adding metal 2: metal 2 metal 1 vias poly poly p-tub n+ n+ p-tub p+ p+

Transistor structure n-type transistor:

Transistor layout n-type (tubs may vary): L w

Drain current characteristics

Drain current Linear region (Vds < Vgs - Vt): Id = k’ (W/L)(Vgs - Vt)(Vds - 0.5 Vds2) Saturation region (Vds >= Vgs - Vt): Id = 0.5k’ (W/L)(Vgs - Vt) 2

90 nm transconductances Typical parameters: n-type: p-type: kn’ = 13 A/V2 Vtn = 0.14 V p-type: kp’ = 7 A/V2 Vtp = -0.21 V

Current through a transistor Use 90 nm parameters. Let W/L = 3/2. Measure at boundary between linear and saturation regions. Vgs = 0.25V: Id = 0.5k’(W/L)(Vgs-Vt)2= 0.12 A Vgs = 1V: Id = 7.2 mA

Basic transistor parasitics Gate to substrate, also gate to source/drain. Source/drain capacitance, resistance.

Basic transistor parasitics, cont’d Gate capacitance Cg. Determined by active area. Source/drain overlap capacitances Cgs, Cgd. Determined by source/gate and drain/gate overlaps. Independent of transistor L. Cgs = Col W Gate/bulk overlap capacitance.

Latch-up CMOS ICs have parastic silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs). When powered up, SCRs can turn on, creating low-resistance path from power to ground. Current can destroy chip. Early CMOS problem. Can be solved with proper circuit/layout structures.

Parasitic SCR circuit I-V behavior

Parasitic SCR structure

Solution to latch-up Use tub ties to connect tub to power rail. Use enough to create low-voltage connection.
