Design Rule Check
|
||||
Design Rule Checking
|
||||
Design rule checking or check(s) is the process of determing whether the
|
||||
physical layout of a particular chip layout satisfies a series of
|
||||
required parameters called design rules.
|
||||
|
||||
LVS
|
||||
Layout Verse Schematic
|
||||
Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) verification is the process of determining
|
||||
whether a particular integrated circuit layout corresponds to the
|
||||
original :ref:`schematic` or :ref:`circuit diagram` of the design.
|
||||
|
||||
PEX
|
||||
Parasitic Extraction
|
||||
Parasitic extraction is calculation of the parasitic effects in both the
|
||||
designed devices and the required wiring interconnects of an electronic
|
||||
circuit. This includes all parasitic components (often called parasitic
|
||||
devices) including parasitic;
|
||||
|
||||
* capacitances,
|
||||
* resistances, and
|
||||
* inductances.

CIF
|
||||
Caltech Intermediate Form
|

From the 1990's, the CIF format has largely been replaced by the GDS
|

format.
|

MiM
|
||||
MIM
|
||||
MiM caps
|
||||
Stands for "metal-insulator-metal" and is a type of IC capacitor
|
||||
structure.
|
||||
|
||||
These are capacitors that are made between two metal route layers,
|
||||
usually close to the top of the metal stack.
|
||||
|
||||
Generally they are around 1fF/um^2, a lot better than MoM caps.
|
||||
|
||||
The capacitance of MiM caps is on the top and bottom of the metal
|
||||
(while the capacitance of MoM caps is sidewall cap).
|
||||
|
||||
MoM
|
||||
MoM caps
|
||||
VPP
|
||||
VPP capacitor
|
||||
Stands for "metal-oxide-metal" and is a type of IC capacitor structure.
|
||||
|
||||
These are capacitors which are made by interleaving fingers of metal.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes MoM caps are referred to as "VPP" capacitors (stands for
|
||||
"vertical parallel plate").
|
||||
|
||||
The capacitance of MoM caps is capacitance of the metal sidewalls which
|
||||
is significantly lower than that provided MiM caps.

Previous Nomenclature
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
During the process of preparing the SkyWater SKY130 PDK for public release, consistency around naming, documentation and data cross checking was performed. This attempted to make sure that all references have been updated but despite the SkyWater PDK Author's best efforts, some references may have been missed.
|
||||
|
||||
This section of the document include information about previous nomenclature around both the SkyWater PDK, related process and technologies developed both by Cypress Technology, SkyWater Technology and their partners.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
If you find any references to these terms inside the current documentation,
|
||||
please create an issue so we can update the documentation!
|
||||
|
||||
This section should also help people who have previously had access (under NDA) to Cypress and SkyWater PDK files or older documentation and want to migrate to this new open source PDK.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
Despite this repository being released under an open source license, you
|
||||
should **not** publish publically any Cypress or SkyWater IP you have been
|
||||
given access to under NDA.
|
||||
|
||||
If the IP you are looking at includes references to terms found in this
|
||||
Previous Nomenclature section, it is a good indication that the IP you have
|
||||
can only be shared under appropriate NDAs and clearances you should **not**
|
||||
be publically publishing it.
