System Drivers ChapterSystem Drivers Chapter• Define IC products that drive mfg, design technologies• Replace the 1999 SOC Chapter• ORTCs + SDs = “consistent framework for tech requirements”• Four system drivers
– (HVC) MPU – traditional processor core– SOC (focus on “ASIC-LP”, + high-pins, high-signaling network driver)– AM/S – four basic circuits and FOMs– (HVC) DRAM
• Each driver section• Nature, evolution, formal definition of this driver• What market forces apply to this driver ?• What technology elements (process, device, design) does this drive?• Key figures of merit, and roadmap
• Working text material (handout): (MPU) , (SOC) , AMS• Inputs from Test, A&P, Litho/PIDS/FEP, Interconnect

MPU DriverMPU Driver
• Old MPU model – 3 flavors • New MPU model - 2 flavors
• Cost-performance at production (CP) – 140 mm2 die, “desktop”
• High-performance at production (HP) – 310 mm2 die, “server”
• Both have multiple cores (“helper engines”), on-board L3 cache, …– Multi-cores == more dedicated, less general-purpose logic; driven by
power and reuse considerations; reflect convergence of MPU and SOC
• Doubling of transistor counts is each per each node, NOT per each 18 months
• Clock frequencies stop doubling with each node

• Diminishing returns– Pollack’s Rule: In a given process technology, new microarchitecture takes 2-3x
area of previous generation one, and provides only 50% more performance– Corroboration: SPECint/MHz, SPECfp/MHz, SPECint/Watt all decreasing
• Power knob running out– Speed == Power– Large switching currents, large power surges on wakeup, IR drop control issues
all limited by A&P roadmap (e.g., improvement in bump pitch, package power)
• Power management: 2500% improvement needed by 2016• Speed knob running out (new clock frequency model)
– Historically, 2x clock frequency every node• 1.4x/node from device scaling but running into tox, other limits (PIDS)• 1.4x/node from fewer logic stages (from 40-100 down to around 14 FO4 INV delays)
– Clocks cannot be generated with period < 6-8 FO4 INV delays– Pipelining overhead (1-1.5 FO4 INV delay for pulse-mode latch, 2-3 for FF)– Around16 FO4 INV delays is limit for clock period in core (L1 $ access, 64b add)– Cannot continue 2x frequency per node trend in ITRS

• Logic Density: Average size of 4t gate = 32MP2 = 320F2
– MP = lower-level contacted metal pitch– F = min feature size (technology node)– 32 = 8 tracks standard-cell height times 4 tracks width (average NAND2)– Additional whitespace factor = 2x (i.e., 100% overhead)– Custom layout density = 1.25x semi-custom layout density
• SRAM Density: (used in MPU) – bitcell area (units of F^2) near flat: 223.19*F (um) + 97.748 – peripheral overhead = 60% – memory content is increasing (driver: power) and increasingly fragmented– will see paradigm shifts in architecture/stacking; eDRAM, 1-T SRAM, 3D integ…
• Significant SRAM density increase, slight Logic density decrease, compared to 1999 ITRS– 130nm node: old ASIC logic density = 13M tx/cm2, new = 11.6M tx/cm2
– 130nm node: old SRAM density = 70M tx/cm2, new = 140M tx/cm2– Chief impact: power densities, logic-memory balance on chip

SOC-LP Driver (STRJ)SOC-LP Driver (STRJ)• Power gap
– Must reduce dynamic and static power to avoid zero logic content limit– Hits low-power SOC before hits MPU– SOC degree of freedom: low-power (not high-perf) process
• SOC-LP model drives ASIC-LP (PIDS) device model– Lgate lags high-performance devices by 2 years– Accompanying device parameter changes
• Vth higher (up to .5 x Vdd limit)• Ig, Ioff starts at 100pA/um (L(Operating)P), 1pA/um (L(STandby)P)• Tox higher• Slower devices (higher CV/I)
– Four LP device flavors: Design still faces 40-1000%/node static power management challenge, and must address multi (Vt,tox,Vdd)
• SOC-LP driver: low-power PDA– Composition: CPU cores, embedded cores, SRAM/eDRAM– Roadmap for IO bandwidth, processing power, GOPS/mW efficiency– Die size grows at 20% per node

• Today, the digital part of circuits is most critical for performance and is dominating chip area
• But in many new IC-products the mixed-signal part becomes important for performance and cost
• This shift in paradigms leads to the need for a definition of the analog boundary conditions in the design part of the ITRS roadmap
• The goal is to define criteria for needs of future analog/RF circuit performance and compare it to device parameters:
choose critical and important analog/RF circuits identify circuit performance needs and related device parameter needs

Design Chapter OutlineDesign Chapter Outline• Introduction
– Scope of design technology– Complexities (silicon, system, design process)– How design technology is driven by System Drivers– Design Grand Challenges
• Details of challenges/needs and potential solutions (metrics)– One section for each of:
• Design Process (quality/cost model )• Functional Verification (escapes, fault tolerance)• System-Level (embedded software productivity, reuse, quality)• Logical/Physical/Circuit (power management, AM/S circuit FOMs)• Test (%BIST, …)
– In each section:• Overview of detailed issues and challenges• Near-term / long-term needs related to driver classes• Key quality metrics (tables or figures)
18 July 2001 Work In Progress – Not for Publication
Design Grand Challenges > 65nmDesign Grand Challenges > 65nm• Scaling of maximum-quality design implementation productivity
• Overall design productivity of quality- (difficulty-) normalized functions on chip must scale at 2x / node
• Reuse (including migration) of design, verification and test effort must scale at > 2x/node
• Develop analog and mixed-signal synthesis, verification and test • Embedded software productivity
• Power Management• Off-currents in low-power devices increase 10x/node; design technology must
maintain constant static power• Power dissipation for HP MPU exceeds package limits by 25x in 15 years; design
technology must achieve power limits • Power optimizations must simultaneously and fully exploit many degrees of freedom -
multi-Vt, multi-Tox, multi-Vdd in core - while guiding architecture, OS and software
• Deeper integration of Design technology with other ITRS technology areas• Example: Die-package co-optimization• Example: Design for Manufacturability (sharing variability burden with
Litho/PIDS/FEP and Interconnect, reduction of system NRE cost)• Example: Design for Test

Design Grand Challenges < 65nmDesign Grand Challenges < 65nm• (Three Grand Challenges from > 65nm, and)• Noise Management
• Lower noise headroom especially in low-power devices; coupled interconnects; supply voltage IR drop and ground bounce; thermal impact on device off-currents and interconnect resistivities; mutual inductance; substrate coupling; single-event upset (alpha particle); increased use of dynamic logic families
• Modeling, analysis and estimation at all levels of design
• Error-Tolerant Design• Relaxing 100% correctness requirement may reduce manufacturing, verification, test
costs• Both transient and permanent failures of signals, logic values, devices, interconnects• Novel techniques: adaptive and self-correcting / self-repairing circuits, use of on-chip
reconfigurability

Design Cost AnalysisDesign Cost Analysis• “Largest possible ASIC” design cost model (Dataquest)
• engineer cost per year increases 5% per year ($181,568 in 1990)• EDA tool cost per year increases 3.9% per year ($99,301 in 1990)• #Gates in largest ASIC/SOC design (.25M in 1990, 250M in 2005)• %Logic Gates constant at 70% • #Engineers / Million Logic Gates decreasing from 250 in 1990 to 5 in
2005• Productivity due to 8 major Design Technology innovations (3.5 of
which are still unavailable) : RTL methodology; In-house P&R; Tall-thin engineer; Small-block reuse; Large-block reuse; IC implementation suite; Intelligent testbench; ES-level methodology
• Small refinements: (1) memory content; (2) other design NRE (mask cost, etc.)
– #Engineers per ASIC design still rising 20x in 15 years despite assumed 50x improvement in designer productivity
