  • China's Progress in Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment
    MARCH 2021 China’s Progress in Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Accelerants and Policy Implications CSET Policy Brief AUTHORS Will Hunt Saif M. Khan Dahlia Peterson Executive Summary China has a chip problem. It depends entirely on the United States and U.S. allies for access to advanced commercial semiconductors, which underpin all modern technologies, from smartphones to fighter jets to artificial intelligence. China’s current chip dependence allows the United States and its allies to control the export of advanced chips to Chinese state and private actors whose activities threaten human rights and international security. Chip dependence is also expensive: China currently depends on imports for most of the chips it consumes. China has therefore prioritized indigenizing advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME), which chip factories require to make leading-edge chips. But indigenizing advanced SME will be hard since Chinese firms have serious weaknesses in almost all SME sub-sectors, especially photolithography, metrology, and inspection. Meanwhile, the top global SME firms—based in the United States, Japan, and the Netherlands—enjoy wide moats of intellectual property and world- class teams of engineers, making it exceptionally difficult for newcomers to the SME industry to catch up to the leading edge. But for a country with China’s resources and political will, catching up in SME is not impossible. Whether China manages to close this gap will depend on its access to five technological accelerants: 1. Equipment components. Building advanced SME often requires access to a range of complex components, which SME firms often buy from third party suppliers and then assemble into finished SME.

Abstract— This paper compares readout powers and operating frequencies among dual-port SRAMs: an 8T SRAM, 10T II. CELL TOPOLOGIES single-end SRAM, and 10T differential SRAM. The conventional 8T SRAM has the least transistor count, and is the most area A. 8T SRAM efficient. However, the readout power becomes large and the (a) cycle time increases due to peripheral circuits. The 10T Precharge Precharge circuit single-end SRAM is our proposed SRAM, in which a dedicated signal MC inverter and transmission gate are appended as a single-end read Bitline leakage port. The readout power of the 10T single-end SRAM is reduced by 75% and the operating frequency is increased by 95%, over the 8T SRAM. On the other hand the 10T differential SRAM can MC Memory cell (MC) operate fastest, because its small differential voltage of 50 mV RWL achieves the high-speed operation. In terms of the power WWL Readout current efficiency, however, the sense amplifier and precharge circuits lead to the power overhead. As a result, the 10T single-end P1 P2 Bitline keeper SRAM always consumes lowest readout power compared to the 8T and the 10T differential SRAM.

  • Moore's Law: the Future of Si Microelectronics
    Moore’s law: the future of Si microelectronics Soon after Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley invented a solid-state device in 19471 to replace electron vacuum tubes, the microelectronics industry and a revolution started. Since its birth, the industry has experienced four decades of unprecedented explosive growth driven by two factors: Noyce and Kilby inventing the planar integrated circuit2,3 and the advantageous characteristics that result from scaling (shrinking) solid-state devices. Scott E. Thompson and Srivatsan Parthasarathy SWAMP Center, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Florida, Gainsville, FL 32611-6130 USA E-mail:[email protected], [email protected] Scaling solid-state devices has the peculiar property of improving approaches under investigation are: (1) nonclassical CMOS, which cost, performance, and power, which has historically given any consists of new channel materials and/or multigate fully depleted company with the latest technology a large competitive device structures; and (2) alternatives to CMOS, such as spintronics, advantage in the market. As a result, the microelectronics single electron devices, and molecular computing8,9. While some of industry has driven transistor feature size scaling from 10 µm to these non-Si research areas are important and will be successful in ~30 nm4-6 during the past 40 years. During most of this time, new applications and markets10, it seems unlikely any of the non-Si scaling simply consisted of reducing the feature size. However, options can replace the Si transistor for the $300 billion during certain periods, there were major changes as with the microelectronics industry in the foreseeable future (perhaps as long industry move from Si bipolar to p-channel metal-oxide- as 30 years).

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A novel full adder circuit is presented. The main aim is to reduce power delay product (PDP) in the presented full adder cell. A new method is used in order to design a full-swing full adder cell with low number of transistors. The proposed full adder is implemented in MOSFET-like carbon nanotube technology and the layout is provided based on standard 32 nm technology from MOSIS. The simulation results using HSPICE show that there are substantial improvements in both power and performance of the proposed circuit compared to the latest designs. In addition, the proposed circuit has been implemented in conventional 32 nm process to compare the benefits of using MOSFET-like carbon nanotubes in arithmetic circuits over conventional CMOS technology.

    Introducing 45 nm technology in Microwind3 MICROWIND APPLICATION NOTE Introducing 45 nm technology in Microwind3 Etienne SICARD Syed Mahfuzul Aziz Professor School of Electrical & Information Engineering INSA-Dgei, 135 Av de Rangueil University of South Australia 31077 Toulouse – France Mawson Lakes, SA 5095, Australia www.microwind.org www.unisa.edu.au email: [email protected] email: [email protected] This paper describes the improvements related to the CMOS 45 nm technology and the implementation of this technology in Microwind3. The main novelties related to the 45 nm technology such as the high-k gate oxide, metal- gate and very low-K interconnect dielectric is described. The performances of a ring oscillator layout and a 6- transistor RAM memory layout are also analyzed. 1. Recent trends in CMOS technology Firstly, we give an overview of the evolution of important parameters such as the integrated circuit (IC) complexity, gate length, switching delay and supply voltage with a prospective vision down to the 22 nm CMOS technology. The trend of CMOS technology improvement continues to be driven by the need to integrate more functions within a given silicon area. Table 1 gives an overview of the key parameters for technological nodes from 180 nm, introduced in 1999, down to 22 nm, which is supposed to be in production around 2011. Demonstration chips using 45-nm technology have been reported starting in 2004. Mass market manufacturing with this technology is scheduled for late 2007.
