With decreasing process nodes and increasing design density, crosstalk analysis is a must for getting design closure in the UDSM era. In addition to this, while crosstalk analysis is complex in itself, the new process nodes are showing increasing variations of process parameters for devices and interconnect. This in turn adds more complexity to crosstalk analysis. Standard techniques of factoring in the effects of process variations (corner-based analysis) is particularly ineffective for crosstalk analysis, so we need to look at techniques of statistical analysis of crosstalk in a manner similar to that used for timing. We look at a basic infrastructure for doing statistical crosstalk analysis - and look at how it can incorporate the effects of variations in cell variations and on aggressor slew. We also look at aggressor window clustering as a technique to reduce pessimism in crosstalk - and see how this technique can be modified to take in the effect of process variations. We lay the theoretical framework for these techniques in this paper, and show the results of a prototype implementation on real designs. We show that using this framework and techniques shows a close correlation with Monte-Carlo simulations.
随着工艺节点的减少和设计密度的增加,在UDSM时代,串扰分析是获得设计闭合的必要手段。此外,虽然串扰分析本身就很复杂,但新的工艺节点显示出设备和互连的工艺参数越来越多的变化。这反过来又增加了串声分析的复杂性。考虑过程变化影响的标准技术(基于角落的分析)对于串扰分析尤其无效,因此我们需要以类似于用于计时的方式来研究串扰的统计分析技术。我们研究了进行统计串扰分析的基本基础设施,并研究了它如何结合细胞变异和攻击者杀戮的变化的影响。我们还将攻击性窗口聚类视为一种减少串音中的悲观情绪的技术,并了解如何修改该技术以吸收进程变化的影响。本文为这些技术奠定了理论框架,并在实际设计中展示了原型实现的结果。我们表明,使用该框架和技术显示与蒙特卡罗模拟密切相关。

Process Variation Aware Timing Optimization through Transistor Sizing in Dynamic CMOS Logic 动态CMOS逻辑中晶体管尺寸的工艺变化感知时序优化

A major challenge in the design of microprocessor circuits is transistor sizing in dynamic CMOS logic due to increased number of channel-connected transistors on various paths of the design, and increased magnitude of process variations in the nanometer process. This paper proposes a process variation aware transistor sizing algorithm for dynamic CMOS logic. The efficiency of this algorithm is illustrated first by a 2-b weighted binary-to-thermometric converter, of which the critical path delay was optimized from 355 to 157 ps which accounts for a 55.77% delay improvement, and the delay uncertainty due to process variation was optimized by 60.75%. A 4-b unity weight binary-to-thermometric converter was also optimized, of which the critical path delay was reduced from 152 to 103 ps which accounts for a 32.23% delay improvement, and delay uncertainty was optimized by 63.6%. Applying the proposed timing optimization algorithm to a mixed-dynamic-static CMOS 64-bit adder, the critical path delay and the power-delay-product were optimized to 632 ps and 84.17 pJ, respectively.

Practical Clock Tree Robustness Signoff Metrics 实用时钟树鲁棒性签名指标
Pub Date : 2008-03-17 DOI: 10.1109/ISQED.2008.171

Clock tree analysis and signoff is a key step in the design of any high performance chip. Though simple and intutive metrics like skew have been used to track clock tree quality, they are not sufficient for most practical purposes. Ideally, skew distribution obtained using a SSTA (Statististical Static Timing Analysis) on the clock trees can be used. But in most practical cases, the process information assumed by SSTA is not available. As a result, the signoff of clock skew robustness to variation effects is an often difficult problem to solve. In this work, we propose two metrics that can address this issue. These metrics can be used in three important ways. First, they can be used to determine during CTS whether the clock tree is good enough to go through rest of the backend flow or whether more tuning needs to be done to the clock tree. Second, they can be used to isolate any parts of the clock tree that behaves like a hot spot for clock skew across corners. Third, it can be used as a final signoff metric for clock tree to ensure that the tracking of the delays and skews can be expected to be good across all process points. We provide several experimental results from industry testcases demonstrating the utility of our metrics.
时钟树分析和信号处理是设计高性能芯片的关键步骤。虽然像skew这样简单直观的指标已经被用来跟踪时钟树的质量,但它们并不足以满足大多数实际目的。理想情况下,可以使用在时钟树上使用统计静态时序分析(SSTA)获得的偏态分布。但是在大多数实际情况下,SSTA假定的进程信息是不可用的。因此,时钟偏差对变异效应的鲁棒性的消弭是一个难以解决的问题。在这项工作中,我们提出了两个可以解决这个问题的指标。这些指标可以以三种重要的方式使用。首先,它们可以用于在CTS期间确定时钟树是否足够好,可以通过其余的后端流,或者是否需要对时钟树进行更多的调优。其次,它们可以用来隔离时钟树的任何部分,这些部分表现得像时钟在各个角落倾斜的热点。第三,它可以用作时钟树的最终签署指标,以确保对所有过程点的延迟和偏差的跟踪都是良好的。我们提供了几个来自行业测试案例的实验结果,以证明我们的度量的实用性。

Process Variation Aware Bus-Coding Scheme for Delay Minimization in VLSI Interconnects 基于过程变化感知的VLSI互连延迟最小化总线编码方案

Process variations can have a significant impact on both device and interconnect performance in deep sub-micron (DSM) technology. In this paper, initially authors discuss the effects of process parameter variations on bus-encoding schemes for delay minimization in VLSI interconnects. Later, process variation aware bus-coding scheme is proposed to reduce delay in interconnects. It is shown that if process variability is taken into consideration, effective capacitance (Ceff) of the bus lines varies because of which the amount of delay that each crosstalk class causes is going to vary. SPICE simulations have been carried out for interconnect lines of different dimensions at different technology nodes (180, 130, 90 and 65 nm) to find out the effect of process variation on the effective capacitance of bus lines and to evaluate the percentage delay reduction due to proposed coding scheme.
在深亚微米(DSM)技术中,工艺变化会对器件和互连性能产生重大影响。在本文中,作者首先讨论了工艺参数变化对VLSI互连中最小化延迟的总线编码方案的影响。随后,提出了进程变化感知总线编码方案,以减少互连中的延迟。结果表明,如果考虑过程的可变性,则母线的有效电容(Ceff)会发生变化,因此每个串扰类引起的延迟量也会发生变化。在不同的技术节点(180nm、130nm、90nm和65nm)上对不同尺寸的互连线进行了SPICE仿真,以找出工艺变化对母线有效电容的影响,并评估所提出的编码方案所减少的延迟百分比。

Fast Evaluation Method for Transient Hot Spots in VLSI ICs in Packages 封装中超大规模集成电路瞬态热点快速评估方法

Recently VLSI IC design is concerned with the large temperature non-uniformity in high power chips. Thus far, thermal simulations have been limited to steady-state worst case conditions, which have caused the use of conservative margins in thermal designs. Transient temperature characteristics were not simulated in prior art chip-level simulations due to the high computational expense. To drastically reduce the time for the chip-level thermal simulations, we have developed a matrix convolution technique, called the Power Blurring (PB) method. Our method renders the temperature profile of a packaged IC with maximum error less than 3% for several case studies done and reduces the computation time by a factor of 100, compared to the simulations done by the industry standard finite element tools.
近年来,超大规模集成电路设计受到大功率芯片温度不均匀性的关注。到目前为止,热模拟仅限于稳态最坏情况下,这导致在热设计中使用保守裕度。由于计算费用高,现有技术的芯片级模拟没有模拟瞬态温度特性。为了大大减少芯片级热模拟的时间,我们开发了一种矩阵卷积技术,称为功率模糊(PB)方法。与行业标准有限元工具进行的模拟相比,我们的方法在几个案例研究中以小于3%的最大误差呈现了封装IC的温度曲线,并将计算时间减少了100倍。

Radiation induced soft errors have become an important reliability concern in the sub-nanometer regime. Therefore, it is imperative to devise methods to predict the soft error rates (SER) quickly and accurately in combinational circuits. In this paper, we present a novel technique and a tool to compute the SERs of designs employing hierarchical architectures such as adders and multipliers. The technique uses pre-characterized blocks for current generation and propagation and probability theory to estimate the SER in hierarchical architectures. The analysis results of different hierarchical architectures, based on characterization of basic blocks such as muxes, counters and partial product generators using the new technique, are presented in this paper. The run time for most of the designs were in the order of few minutes and we obtain an average speedup of 14084X times over HSPICE and 12.25X times over a contemporary tool SEAT-LA. We have also demonstrated the scalability of our technique for various hierarchical circuits. Our technique can also be extended to any block based architecture.
在亚纳米领域,辐射软误差已成为一个重要的可靠性问题。因此,设计快速准确地预测组合电路软错误率的方法势在必行。在本文中,我们提出了一种新的技术和工具来计算采用加法器和乘法器等层次结构的设计的SERs。该技术使用预特征块进行电流的生成和传播,并使用概率论来估计分层体系结构中的SER。本文给出了基于对互斥器、计数器和部分积发生器等基本模块的表征的不同层次结构的分析结果。大多数设计的运行时间在几分钟内,我们获得了比HSPICE平均加速14084X倍的速度,比现代工具SEAT-LA平均加速12.25倍。我们还展示了我们的技术在各种层次电路中的可扩展性。我们的技术也可以扩展到任何基于块的体系结构。

Interconnect Signaling and Layout Optimization to Manage Thermal Effects Due to Self Heating in On-Chip Signal Buses 互连信号和布局优化,以管理由于片上信号总线自加热的热效应

Power dissipation in long interconnects and increasing wire temperatures due to (self) Joule heating are becoming important issues to address in nanometer-scale technologies. While many low-power bus encoding schemes have been proposed, no encoding techniques exist for explicitly reducing temperatures in high-speed on-chip signal buses. In this work, we propose: (1) an interconnect/wire signaling and layout optimization that considers self and inter-wire coupling activities and is tailored to data traffic characteristics; (2) an integer linear programming (ILP) technique to optimize bus energy and; (3) a novel methodology to add thermal constraints to this ILP optimization to reduce not only average but also peak wire temperatures. Our contributions enable a designer to efficiently explore the hottest wire temperature and total bus dynamic energy trade-off space. One such trade-off point yielded a thermally-constrained, energy-optimal encoding scheme that reduced wire temperatures by up to 12.26degC (12.96degC) for data (instruction) buses and significant average energy savings of 14.24% (16.17%) for data (instruction) bus. These results are still much better than energy reductions obtained by previous work.
在纳米级技术中,长互连中的功耗和由于焦耳加热引起的导线温度升高已成为需要解决的重要问题。虽然已经提出了许多低功耗总线编码方案,但目前还没有明确降低高速片上信号总线温度的编码技术。在这项工作中,我们提出:(1)考虑到自身和线间耦合活动并根据数据流量特征量身定制的互连/线信令和布局优化;(2)利用整数线性规划(ILP)技术优化总线能量;(3)在ILP优化中加入热约束的新方法,不仅可以降低平均温度,还可以降低峰值温度。我们的贡献使设计人员能够有效地探索最热的电线温度和总总线动态能量权衡空间。其中一个折衷点产生了一种热约束、能量最优的编码方案,该方案将数据(指令)总线的导线温度降低了12.26摄氏度(12.96摄氏度),数据(指令)总线的平均能耗显著降低了14.24%(16.17%)。这些结果仍然比以前的工作得到的能量减少要好得多。

Test stimulus and response compaction (scan compression) in scan is increasingly becoming an integral part of today's design-for-test (DFT) methodology for achieving high quality test at lower costs. Current generation integrated circuit's (ICs) are very complex designs that produce a large number of unknown values (Xs) during response capture in scan testing. Response compaction techniques have been shown to be very effective in dealing with any distribution of the Xs while not compromising on the test coverage. However, as the number of scan in pins reduce, the X-tolerance capability of these techniques degrades rapidly. In this paper we discuss interval based response compaction scheme for scan compression architectures. We present an analysis to show that very high X-tolerance can be achieved with a small number of scan-in pins and with no loss of test coverage. We also show that this eventually translates into higher compression ratio and lower test data volume.
扫描中的测试刺激和响应压缩(扫描压缩)正日益成为当今测试设计(DFT)方法的一个组成部分,以较低的成本实现高质量的测试。电流生成集成电路(ic)是非常复杂的设计,在扫描测试中的响应捕获过程中会产生大量未知值(Xs)。响应压缩技术已被证明在处理x的任何分布时都非常有效,同时不会影响测试覆盖率。然而,随着引脚扫描次数的减少,这些技术的x容差能力迅速下降。本文讨论了扫描压缩体系结构中基于区间的响应压缩方案。我们提出了一项分析,表明可以通过少量扫描引脚实现非常高的x -容差,并且不会损失测试覆盖率。我们还表明,这最终转化为更高的压缩比和更低的测试数据量。

This paper explores the modeling of the propagation delay of through silicon vias (TSVs) in 3D integrated circuits. The electrical characteristics and models of the TSVs are very crucial in enabling the analysis and CAD in 3D integrated circuits. In this paper, an analytical model for the propagation delay of the TSV as a function of its physical dimensions is proposed. The presented analytical model is in great agreement with simulations using electromagnetic field solver and lossy transmission line circuit model. Compared to earlier interconnect models, the presented analytical model provides higher accuracy and fidelity in addition to its simplicity. Hence, the presented analytical model is very useful in the analysis of 3D integrated circuits.
