Circuit Design: Anticipate, Analyze, Exploit Variations
by Stephan Weber Candido DuarteCircuit Design = Science + Art! Designers need a skilled "gut feeling" about circuits and related analytical techniques, plus creativity, to solve all problems and to adhere to the specifications, the written and the unwritten ones. You must anticipate a large number of influences, like temperature effects, supply voltages changes, offset voltages, layout parasitics, and numerous kinds of technology variations to end up with a circuit that works. This is challenging for analog, custom-digital, mixed-signal or RF circuits, and often researching new design methods in relevant journals, conference proceedings and design tools unfortunately gives the impression that just a "wild bunch" of "advanced techniques" exist. On the other hand, state-of-the-art tools nowadays indeed offer a good cockpit to steer the design flow, which include clever statistical methods and optimization techniques.Actually, this almost presents a second breakthrough, like the introduction of circuit simulators 40 years ago! Users can now conveniently analyse all the problems (discover, quantify, verify), and even exploit them, for example for optimization purposes. Most designers are caught up on everyday problems, so we fit that "wild bunch" into a systematic approach for variation-aware design, a designer's field guide and more. That is where this book can help! Circuit Design: Anticipate, Analyze, Exploit Variations starts with best-practise manual methods and links them tightly to up-to-date automation algorithms. We provide many tractable examples and explain key techniques you have to know. We then enable you to select and setup suitable methods for each design task - knowing their prerequisites, advantages and, as too often overlooked, their limitations as well. The good thing with computers is that you yourself can often verify amazing things with little effort, and you can use software not only to your direct advantage in solving a specific problem, but also for becoming a better skilled, more experienced engineer. Unfortunately, EDA design environments are not good at all to learn about advanced numerics. So with this book we also provide two apps for learning about statistic and optimization directly with circuit-related examples, and in real-time so without the long simulation times. This helps to develop a healthy statistical gut feeling for circuit design. The book is written for engineers, students in engineering and CAD / methodology experts. Readers should have some background in standard design techniques like entering a design in a schematic capture and simulating it, and also know about major technology aspects.

Circuit-Technology Co-Optimization of SRAM Design in Advanced CMOS Nodes
by Francky Catthoor Hsiao-Hsuan LiuModern computing engines—CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs—require extensive SRAM for cache designs, driven by the increasing demand for higher density, performance, and energy efficiency. This book delves into two primary areas within ultra-scaled technology nodes: (1) advancing SRAM bitcell scaling and (2) exploring innovative subarray designs to enhance power-performance-area (PPA) metrics across technology nodes. The first part of the book utilizes a bottom-up design-technology co-optimization (DTCO) approach, employing a dedicated PPA simulation framework to evaluate and identify the most promising strategies for SRAM bitcell scaling. It offers a comprehensive examination of SRAM bitcell scaling beyond 1 nm node, outlining a structured research cycle that includes identifying scaling bottlenecks, developing cutting-edge architectures with complementary field-effect transistor (CFET) technology, and addressing challenges such as process integration and routing complexities. Additionally, this book introduces a novel write margin methodology to better address the risks of write failures in resistance-dominated nodes. This methodology accounts for time-dependent parasitic bitline effects and incorporates timing setup of write-assist techniques to prevent underestimating the yield loss. In the second part, the focus shifts to a top-down DTCO approach due to the diminishing returns of bitcell scaling beyond 5 Å node at the macro level. As technology scales, increasing resistance and capacitance (RC) lead designers to adopt smaller subarray sizes to reduce effective RC and enhance subarray-level PPA. However, this approach can result in increased inter-subarray interconnect overhead, potentially offsetting macro-level improvements. This book examines the effects of various subarray sizes on macro-level PPA and finds that larger subarrays can significantly reduce interconnect overhead and improve the energy-delay-area product (EDAP) of SRAM macro. The introduction of the active interconnect (AIC) concept enables the use of larger subarray sizes, while integrating carbon nanotube FET as back-end-of-line compatible devices results in macro-level EDAP improvements of up to 65% when transitioning from standard subarrays to AIC divided subarrays. These findings highlight the future trajectory of SRAM subarray design in deeply scaled nodes.
