ASIC layout – positive effects • Core utilization • - freq. bestaround 90 % • below longwirestocoresides, slower • above limited routingpossibilities, slower • Core aspectratio • - IO padsleft & right H > W (0.9:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1) • Antennafixing • - turned off in nano-route slightspeedincrease
ASIC layout – negative effects • Limited metalusage • limited tolayer 4 (5 usedbefore) • speeddecrease • Post route optimizations • timingonly • leakageonly • leakage & timing • alwayshighleakageincrease • Gate libraries • useonlyhighVtinsteadofmixedVt • -2nW leakage, speeddecrease worsemetric • Power stripes • speeddecrease (place & route limitation)
ASIC layout – misc. • Power ring dimensions • tried 2µm, 5µm, 10µm width • noeffects on speed / leakageforused design
Final ASIC layout withpads leakage > 12 mW !!
