Introduction to VLSI Design
By VijaySankarRao.P IIIT,Hyderabad What is Digital/Analog IC Design?
Digital/Analog IC design is the successful
implementation of analog circuits and systems using integrated circuit technology. Unique Features of Digital/Analog IC Design Moore’s law • Intel Chip Year of Introduction # Transistors • 4004 1971 2,250 • 8008 1972 2,500 • 8080 1974 5,000 • 8086 1978 29,000 • 286 1982 120,000 • 386™ processor 1985 275,000 • 486™ DX processor 1989 1,180,000 • Pentium® processor 1993 3,100,000 • Pentium II processor 1997 7,500,000 • Pentium III processor 1999 24,000,000 • Pentium 4 processor 2000 42,000,000 Physical structure of the enhancement-type NMOS transistor (a) perspective view (b) cross-section. Typically L = 0.1 to 3 mm, W = 0.2 to 100 mm, and the thickness of the oxide layer (tox) is in the range of 2 to 50 nm. ¾The enhancement-type NMOS transistor with a positive voltage applied to the gate. An n channel is induced at the top of the substrate beneath the gate. An NMOS transistor with vGS >Vt and with small vDS applied. The device acts as resistance whose value is determined by vGS Operation of the enhancement NMOS transistor as vDS is increased. The induced channel acquires a tapered shape, and its resistance increases as vDS is increased. Here, vGS is kept constant at a value > Vt. (a) An n-channel enhancement-type MOSFET with vGS and vDS applied and with the normal directions of current flow indicated. (b) The iD–vDS characteristics for a device with k’n (W/L) = 1.0 mA/V2.
