Higher density, less material, less power
Enhanced radiation hardness (@ regular layout)
Extensive existing standard cells libraries, some rad-hard (Avago…)
Inverter delay = 20ps…

Designs
-
Two steps
- Non rad hard development with present available libraries
- Rad hard design using CERN design kit (see below)
-
CERN
- A. Marchioro is evaluating 65nm CMOS providers (UMC, ST, TSMC, IBM)
- CERN will make a decision and provide in November a design-kit + radhard libraries to the community
-
Present design kit (Europractice)
- Focus on reliability at moderate speed O(few 100MHz)
- Enhanced radiation hardness (@ regular layout) using redundancy
techniques: triplication and vote, skewed clocks etc…
- Use full custom and existing standard cells libraries from Europractice
-
Design strategy
- Analog SPICE post-layout simulations whenever felt needed (SerDes)
TSMC CMOS 65nm process and libraries
Analog: Mixed-signal + RF
- Voltage supply: core 1.0, 1.2V
1.8, 2.5, 3.3V I/O transistors
- MiM and MoM (metal-oxide) caps
- Thick copper for inductors
- Diodes
- Poly diff, N-well resistors
- Deep N-well (noise immunity)
Digital:
- General purpose std cells 850kGate/mm2
- Very low power
0.8, 1V
- 10-12LM

Radiation Hardness
65nm SRAM @ <100kRad TID (TNS Vol.57 n4 Aug 2010 pp2079-2088)
Control serial link
-
Service serial link
Use simple SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol
PLL based frequency control
JTAG controller (Testability)
Very strong radiation hardness needed (sLHC requires 50-500 Mrads
optimized design required at the transistor level)
- Error Correcting Codes sized to very low Bit Error Rates

– Usable by automatic place&route programs (ie.
Cadence Encounter)
Basic building block → std cell
Optimized to minimize routing
