  2. Future System Needs and Functions Digital Wireless Auto MEMS Analog, RF Consumer Computer High-speed Digital High bandwidth

  3. Demand in the Information Age Required media and the amount of information 100 Mbps per home Source: ITRCS

  4. PCI • PC Interface • For external cards • Graphics, Network, Sound, etc… • Parallel

  16. MOS Technology Trends

  17. Interconnect • Total interconnect length (m/cm2) – active wiring only, excluding global levels will increases: • Interconnect power dissipation is more than 50% of the total dynamic power consumption in 130nm and will become dominant in future technology nodes • Interconnect centric design flows have been adopted to reduce the length of the critical signal path

  18. 5-Layer Interconnect Technology 0.25 mm Vertical parallel-plate capacitance 0.05 fF/mm2 Vertical parallel-plate capacitance (min width) 0.03 fF/mm Vertical fringing capacitance (each side) 0.01 fF/mm Horizontal coupling capacitance (each side) 0.03 Source: M. Bohr and Y. El-Mansy - IEEE TED Vol. 4, March 1998

  20. Chip-Level Interconnect Delay Logic threshold Logic threshold

  21. Package-Level Complexity - Up to 16 layers - Hundreds of vias - Thousands of TLs - High density - Nonuniformity

  22. Signal Integrity Ideal Common Noisy

  23. Signal Integrity Crosstalk Dispersion Attenuation Reflection Distortion Loss Delta I Noise Ground Bounce Radiation

  24. IC on Package

  25. Mixed Signal Noise •  Simultaneous switching and inductance (Leff) •  Leff is f( current magnitude and direction) •  Interactions between noise generated by power/ground and signal paths

  26. Power-Supply Noise • Power-supply-level fluctuations • Delta-I noise • Simultaneous switching noise (SSN) • Ground bounce

  27. Power Distribution Problem Low Frequency High Frequency At high frequencies, Wire B is a transmission line and ground connection is no longer the reference voltage

  28. On-Chip Power and Ground Distribution • Distribution Network for Peripheral Bonding • Power and ground are brought onto the chip via bond pads located along the four edges • Metal buses provide routing from the edges to the remainder of the chip

  29. Dual-in-Line (DIP) Package • Mounted on PWB in pin-through-hole (PTH) configuration • Chip occupies less than 20% of total space • Lead frame with large inductance

  47. Interconnect Simulation Application • New Interconnects: • 3D Interconnect (System In Package) • package-intermediated interconnects Chip-Package-Board Co-Design • Power Ground Network: • It will greatly affect the performance of the chip design: • Voltage (IR) drops on VDD nets • ground bounce on VSS nets • High currents in the power grids  Electromigration effect Power Ground Network Design

  48. Repeated Simulation of the Package/Board Super Fast Simulation Repeated Simulation of the Package/Board Super Fast Simulation Chip-Package Co-Design Source: Joel Mcgrath, “Chip/package co-design: The bridge between chips and systems “, Advanced Packaging Magazine June, 2001

  50. Deep Submicron Timing Closure Unbounded design iterations resulting from unpredicted timing violations - 0.25 microns and lower - 2 to 20 iterations - mismatch between logic and physical designs - greater timing variations - dominated by interconnects - inductive and capacitive coupling - slows time-to-market
