No projeto MPU e ASIC com LSIs BiCMOS de 0.2 µm, é bem sabido que o atraso de interconexão se torna um dos dados principais para garantir alta frequência operacional. Para verificar com precisão todo o atraso do caminho, é necessário criar enormes bibliotecas de atrasos e formas de onda que reflitam o processo atualizado e a estrutura de interconexão, bem como o desempenho do dispositivo. Devido à necessidade de mais de 100 mil vezes de simulação de circuito para criar as bibliotecas, foi impossível atualizar a biblioteca rapidamente, incluindo efeitos de variação do processo. Neste artigo, propusemos um novo método realista para gerar as bibliotecas com base no RSM (Response Surface Method). Na aplicação de um processo BiCMOS ASIC, verificamos que o novo método conseguiu a redução do tempo de criação da biblioteca para 1/100 dentro do erro de atraso de 3%. Esta técnica pode ser usada em nossa estrutura TCAD e DA, que fornece uma geração TCAD preditiva de bibliotecas de atraso em sistemas ASIC simultâneos e desenvolvimento de processos.

Abstract: In MPU and ASIC design with 0.2 µm BiCMOS LSIs, it is well known that interconnect delay becomes one of the key data to ensure high operating frequency. To verify the whole path delay accurately, one needs to create huge delay and waveform libraries which reflect updated process and interconnect structure as well as device performance. Because of the necessity for more than 100 k times of circuit simulation to create the libraries, it was impossible to update the library quickly including process variation effects. In this paper, we have proposed a realistic new method to generate the libraries on the basis of RSM (Response Surface Method). In application for a BiCMOS ASIC process, we have verified that the new method has achieved the reduction of library creation time to 1/100 within the delay error of 3%. This technique can be used in our TCAD and DA framework, which gives a predictive TCAD generation of delay libraries in concurrent ASIC system and process development.
