Popis: A 300 K-circuit ASIC (application-specific-integrated-circuit) family built in a 0.8- mu m four-level-metal single-poly CMOS process is discussed. Wafers consist of p/sup +/ substrate with a p-epitaxial layer and retrograde n-wells. Polysilicon and diffusions are silicided for low resistance. Nominal effective channel length is 0.45 mu m and gate oxides are 120 A. A local interconnect level enhances density. Metal levels 1, 2, and 3 have a contact pitch of 2.4 mu m; metal level 4 has a pitch of 4.8 mu m. All metal lines are aluminum with tungsten vias. Chips are organized as a sea of cells. The standard-cell library consists of 91 combinatorial and sequential elements, available in three performance levels to control delay over a wide range of loads. Three types of embedded array macros are available: fixed custom static random-access memories (SRAMs), growable SRAMs (GRAMs), and growable register arrays (GRAs). Up to 472 full-function signal I/Os are available per chip. >
