2 Review: MOS Process at a Glance Define active areas Etch and fill trenches Implant well regions Deposit and pattern polysilicon layer Implant source and drain regions and substrate contacts One full photolithography sequence per layer (mask) uilt (roughly) from the bottom up 4 metal 2 polysilicon exception! 3 source and drain diffusions 1 tubs (aka wells, active areas) reate contact and via windows Deposit and pattern metal layers Sp12 MPEN 411 L06 S.2

3 MOS ircuit Styles Static complementary MOS - except during switching, output connected to either or GND via a lowresistance path high noise margins - full rail to rail swing - V OH and V OL are at and GND, respectively low output impedance, high input impedance no steady state path between and GND (no static power consumption) delay a function of load capacitance and transistor resistance comparable rise and fall times (under the appropriate transistor sizing conditions) Dynamic MOS - relies on temporary storage of signal values on the capacitance of high-impedance circuit nodes simpler, faster gates increased sensitivity to noise Sp12 MPEN 411 L06 S.3

4 Static omplementary MOS Pull-up network (PUN) and pull-down network (PDN) In 1 In 2 In N In 1 In 2 In N PUN PDN PMOS transistors only pull-up: make a connection from to F when F(In 1,In 2, In N ) = 1 F(In 1,In 2, In N ) pull-down: make a connection from F to GND when F(In 1,In 2, In N ) = 0 NMOS transistors only Question : How many transistors are used to implement N-input function F(In1,In2, InN)? Sp12 MPEN 411 L06 S.4

6 Dual PUN and PDN PUN and PDN are dual networks DeMorgan s theorems + = [!( + ) =!! or!( ) =! &!] = + [!( ) =! +! or!( & ) =!!] a parallel connection of transistors in the PUN corresponds to a series connection of the PDN omplementary gate is naturally inverting (NND, NOR, OI, OI) Number of transistors for an N-input logic gate is 2N Sp12 MPEN 411 L06 S.6

In 1 In 2 In N In 1 In 2 In N PUN PDN PMOS transistors only pull-up: make a connection from to F when F(In 1,In 2, In N ) = 1 F(In 1,In 2, In N ) pull-down: make a connection from F to GND when F(In 1,In 2, In N ) = 0 NMOS transistors only Question1: why PUN are PMOS only and PDN are NMOS only?

X X i j Sp12 MPEN 411 L06 S.18 GND For a single poly strip for every input signal, the Euler paths in the PUN and PDN must be consistent (the same)
