AMICSA – Technology (II/II)

EDA tools, HDL & DK MPW programmes

• Tanner • Cadence • Calibre (Mentor) • Pspice / Hspice • ADMS (Mentor) • • VHDL-AMS / Verilog-A • proprietary simulators, optimizers: Astrium (UK), S3 (P) 02-sep-2008 • Europractice • CMP • MOSIS • vendor specific… •Multi-Layer Mask AMICSA 2008 Slide : 7

AMICSA – Radiation effects

Rad Threats

(TID, SEE)

• leakage currents • Vth shifts • parasitic transistors/ latch up • gate rupture • data corruption (bit flips) • transient pulses

Mitigation Techniques

(technology and function dependent)

• enclosed/bigger transistors, H-shape • guardband rings / STI / LOCOS • avoid diffusion resistors in favour of oxide R • epi layer / hetero-epi • buried-layers • low gain artificially provoked parasitic transistors • DRC isolation rules + waving to allow ELT • SOI • thinner field oxide, thicker gate oxide • hardened libraries (re-size, cell-topology) • ADC offset auto-zeroing (analog and digital correction) • architecture hardening (open vs closed loop) • redundancy and voting/comparing • self-powering functions (reducing SEL options) 02-sep-2008 AMICSA 2008 Slide : 8

AMICSA – Future Challenges

• Easier selection of process, foundry, design kit & tools, rad mitigation techniques, quality level – feasibility!

• Lower cost access to design kits, manufacturing services • Simulation tools. Characterising COTS (NPR,etc) • Supporting EU foundries in low volume market • Coordinating/reusing EU resources (e.g. rad tests, new libs/DK & IPs), preserving industry competition and individual commercial interests • Finding more resources (FP7?) and qualification. Sharing results !

for more tech/components evaluation •Maintaining good (better) communication channels (ESCC Working Groups, Harmonisation/Tech Dossiers) •
