Intel’s 45nm CMOS Technology

چکیده

For the 45nm technology node, high-k+metal gate transistors have been introduced for the first time in a high-volume manufacturing process [1]. The introduction of a high-k gate dielectric enabled a 0.7x reduction in Tox while reducing gate leakage 1000x for the PMOS and 25x for the NMOS transistors. Dual-band edge workfunction metal gates were introduced, eliminating polysilicon gate depletion and providing compatibility with the high-k gate dielectric. In addition to the high-k+metal gate, the 35nm gate length CMOS transistors have been integrated with a third generation of strained silicon and have demonstrated the highest drive currents to date for both NMOS and PMOS. An SRAM cell size of 0.346μ has been achieved while using 193nm dry lithography. High yield and reliability has been demonstrated on multiple single-, dual-, quad-, and six-core microprocessors.

Managing Process Variation in Intel’s 45nm CMOS Technology

The key message of this paper is that process variation is not an insurmountable barrier to Moore’s Law, but is simply another challenge to be overcome. This message is illustrated with data from the 45nm process generation where process variation is shown to be at least equivalent to (and in many cases better than) process variation in the 65nmand 90nm-process generations. We begin this paper ...

Performance Comparison of CMOS and Finfet Based Circuits At 45nm Technology Using SPICE

According to the Moore’s Law, the number of transistors in a unit chip area double every two years. But the existing technology of integrated circuit formation is posing limitations to this law. CMOS technology shows certain limitations as the device is reduced more and more in the nanometer regime out of which power dissipation is an important issue. FinFET is evolving to be a promising techno...
