Virtual Silicon libraries based on United Microelectronics (UMC) processes

A-factors:

0.25 m, high-performance (10 tracks):2-in NAND/NOR: 371INV: 248MUX2: 867DFF: 2106

0.18 m, high-performance (11 tracks), quoted max density = 93.5K gates/mm2, translating to 10.7 m2/gate or 330F2 :

2-in NAND/NOR: 377INV: 251MUX2: 878DFF: 2133

0.15 m, high-density (8 tracks), about 20% smaller than high-performance, quoted max density = 173K gates/mm2, translating to 5.8 m2/gate or 258F2.

2-in NAND/NOR: 307INV: 205MUX2: 717DFF: 1638

If we assume contacted metal pitch = 2.5*F (e.g. MP = 0.625 m for 0.25 m), this gives ~60 MP2 for 2-in NAND/NOR, which is inline with BACPAC calcs

Current recommendations:

SRAM cell size = 150-160F2

Std. Cell size = 375F2??

SRAM overhead: use factor of 1.6 (60% overhead penalty)

These areas don’t include any white-space consideration so the actual packing density should be lower
