Chips
• Integrated circuits consist of:– A small square or rectangular “die”, < 1mm thick
• Small die: 1.5 mm x 1.5 mm => 2.25 mm2
• Large die: 15 mm x 15 mm => 225 mm2
– Larger die sizes mean:• More logic, memory• Less volume• Less yield
– Dies are made from silicon (substrate)• Substrate provides mechanical support and
electrical common point

• Photo-litho-graphy: latin: light-stone-writing
• Photolithography: an optical means for transferring patterns onto a substrate.
• Patterns are first transferred to a photoresist layer.
•Typically a wafer is about 8-10 inches in diameter.
Individual ICs are placed inside it.
Photolithography and Patterning
![Page 10: Spdas1 vlsibput](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455cc1aaf79592b448b4b0d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Photoresist is a liquid film that is spread out onto a substrate, exposed with a desired pattern, and developed into a selectively placed layer for subsequent processing.
• Photolithography is a binary pattern transfer: there is no gray-scale, color, nor depth to the image.

Steps
• Photo resist Coating (covering)
A light sensitive organic polymer (plastic)
• Mask/ Reticle formation
• Exposure to light (UV/X-RAY/E-BEAM)

WHAT IS A PHOTOMASK?
Photomasks are high precision plates containing microscopic images of
electronic circuits. Photomasks are made from very flat pieces of quartz or glass with a layer of chrome on one side. Etched in the chrome is a portion of an electronic circuit
design. This circuit design on the mask is also called geometry.

The Resist
The first step is to coat the Si/SiO2 wafer with a film of a light sensitive material, called a resist.
A resist must also be capable of high fidelity recording of the pattern (resolution) and durable enough to survive later process steps

Photolithography
Energy - causes (photo)chemical reactions that modify resist dissolution rate
Mask - blocks energy transmission to some areas of the resist
Aligner- aligns mask to previously exposed layers of the overall design
Resist - records the masked pattern of energy

Next Generation LithographyIn 1996, five technology options were proposed for the 130 nm gate length technology:
•X-ray proximity Lithography (XPL)
•Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV)
•Electron Projection Lithography (EPL)
•Ion Projection Lithography (IPL)
•Direct-write lithography (EBDW).
These options were referred to as the next generation lithography.

• Wiring Tracks
• A wiring track is the space required for a wire– 4 width, 4 spacing from neighbor = 8
pitch
• Transistors also consume one wiring track
![Page 28: Spdas1 vlsibput](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455cc1aaf79592b448b4b0d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Well spacing
• Wells must surround transistors by 6 – Implies 12 between opposite transistor
flavors– Leaves room for one wire track
