9th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (isqed 2008)
Predictive Delay Evaluation on Emerging CMOS Technologies: A Simulation Framework
March 17-March 19
ISBN: 978-0-7695-3117-5
The main goal of this paper is to study the delay evolution for future technology nodes (32nm and beyond) using electrical circuit predictive simulations. With this aim, two SPICE predictive models, directly based on ITRS data, are developed for devices and for interconnect respectively. The predictive spice models generation is presented and validated versus 45nm silicon data. The predictive delay evaluation is performed with buffered interconnect lines simulations. The simulation results show that the critical interconnect length should be in the order of 10μm for the 2020 generation. Moreover, in forthcoming technologies, driver resizing and systematic buffer insertion will no longer be sufficient to systematically limit wire delay increase.
