Description

Chip with programmable output/input circuit reaches the method that realizes circuit layout on chip
Technical field
The invention provides a kind of method that has the chip of programmable output/input circuit and on chip, realize circuit layout, especially refer to a kind of layout that only need change metal connecting layer, can make the electronic circuit unit of identical topology have the method that different outputs are gone into the chip of function and realize circuit layout on chip.
Background technology
By the formed various electronic circuits of semi-conductor chip, become one of most important hardware foundation of modern information industry.How to reduce the time and the cost of semiconductor chip design, manufacturing, also just become one of emphasis of semiconductor manufacturer's research and development.
Known to the personage of this area, the manufacturing process that forms semi-conductor chip is based on the semiconductor crystal wafer substrate, design the layout of circuit earlier according to the required circuit function that possesses of each circuit in the chip, and go out many different masks (mask) according to the layout definition of circuit.After designing the layout of each mask, again in different processing procedures, see through corresponding mask respectively so that different semiconductor material accumulations is formed layout layer different on the wafer substrate (similarly being doped region, polysilicon layer, oxide layer or each metal level or the like), be combined into circuit miscellaneous in the semi-conductor chip with these layouts, realize each circuit in the chip the circuit function that should possess.
In above-mentioned flow process,, will revise the design of each circuit arrangement in the chip, to change the circuit function of each circuit if design or produced chip can't be brought into play the function of expection.Along with the change of circuit arrangement, make the topological design of each mask also will change or renewal fully.The mask number of Xiu Gaiing is more if desired, will significantly increase time and cost that chip design is made far and away.In other words, just can realize out different circuit functions, can effectively reduce the time and the cost of chip production if can revise with less mask.
Please refer to Fig. 1.Shown in Figure 1 is the synoptic diagram that designs, makes circuit layout with a prior art.Known to the personage of this area, can be provided with the interface circuit of core circuit and peripheral drive in the chip; Core circuit is responsible for carrying out the major function of chip, similarly is logic running at a high speed or the like.And can be provided with various output/input circuits in the interface circuit, export to outside the chip with responsible result, or receive input signal outward, and cushion, be converted to the signal that core circuit is fit to reception by chip with the core circuit running.Picture just is provided with a core circuit 12 and a plurality of output/input circuit 14A to 14C or the like in the chip 10 of Fig. 1, to realize the function of interface circuit.
In general, the required output of variety classes chip is gone into function and is also had nothing in common with each other; Even in the same chip, also often need go on the pressure point the different output of realization and go into function in different output.For instance, in the chip of some kind, it exports the function that the Shi Mite that can require to have noise suppression into function triggers (Schmidttrigger).In order to satisfy this demand, the design of its output/input circuit also will include the circuit that can support Shi Mite to trigger function certainly.Export in the function at the chip of some kind, then requiring it to export into signal has certain power, current driving ability, or has certain response speed (similarly being the revolution rate, slew rate) or the like.Accordingly, in this type of chip, output/input circuit will pass through special design, such as realize higher current driving ability with the bigger doped region of area (impure well) in the layout of output/input circuit.
Go into the design and the realization of function in order to satisfy different outputs, the typical practice commonly used is that various required output input functions are established as the electronic circuit database to write down various electronic circuits unit (cell) design, the topological design of each electronic circuit unit can support a kind of output to go into function, and by different on-line modes, activate required different function, reach the function that programmable is selected.When user's (layout design engineers) will realize out having certain and exports circuit into function, can go into function according to output and come searching database, find out the electronic circuit cell layout design that the function correspondence is gone in this kind output; After finding, just can select to have the on-line mode that to open the required function combination, the topological design of this electronic circuit unit is directly applied mechanically to the topological design of chip.Example among Fig. 1 is exactly to be used for illustrating the situation of this kind technology implementation.Database 16 in Fig. 1, promptly record the topological design (typical database may record the topological design about 300 kinds) of various electronic circuits unit 18A to 18C, various electronic circuits unit 18A to 18C supports its pairing output to go into function with different layouts, different transistor arrangement respectively.For instance, the transistor among the electronic circuit unit 18B can have the channel layout configurations of bigger doped region, broad, makes its energy specific output go into circuit 18A bigger drive current is provided; Then support the function that Shi Mite triggers among the electronic circuit unit 18C with complicated transistor layout.And each electronic circuit unit 18A to 18C also has transmission ends 19A to 19C or the like respectively, so that the connection to core circuit to be provided.
Suppose that the required output that possesses of output/input circuit 14A to 14C goes into function and can be respectively realized by the topological design of electronic circuit unit 18A to 18C, the user of database 16 (layout design engineers) just can apply mechanically the topological design of electronic circuit unit 18A to 18C respectively in output/input circuit 14A to 14C, again by core circuit 12 respectively layout be online to the transmission ends 19A to 19C of each electronic circuit unit 18A to 18C, to connect core circuit 12 and each output/input circuit; Can finish the configuration of core circuit and interface circuit in the chip 10 like this.
Yet also there is shortcoming in the prior art of Fig. 1; One of its shortcoming, the design that when carrying out circuit modification, can change many masks exactly significantly.For instance, will change lower with noise, as to have the noise suppression function other kind output/input circuit if the user of database 16 finds that the noise of output/input circuit 14B is excessive realizes, though it can be searched the electronic circuit unit design of other kind once more and be applied mechanically in database 16, but along with the modification of circuit layout design, the design of each mask certainly will also will be changed.Because prior art is to realize that with different transistor layout designs different output goes into function in various electronic circuit unit among Fig. 1, and transistorized layout itself has just related to many masks (such as the mask of definition oxide layer, doped region, polysilicon layer, metal level or the like), so in a single day the user will change its selected electronic circuit unit, just to change the topological design on a plurality of masks simultaneously.The time of so, chip design, manufacturing and cost also just can't reduce.
Please refer to Fig. 2.Fig. 2 is that another kind of prior art realizes the different synoptic diagram of exporting function.In this kind prior art, equally also be to design with the electronic circuit cell layout in the database 26 to realize various output/input circuit 24A to 24C or the like in the chip 20.Different with Fig. 1 is, each electronic circuit unit in the database 26 has limited sequencing ability, can realize out that different output goes into function with single a kind of electronic circuit unit.In order to select the actual output that provides in (being sequencing) each electronic circuit unit to go into function, each electronic circuit unit also has at least one control end in addition.For instance, in database 26, suppose that electronic circuit unit 28A optionally supports two kinds of different outputs to go into function; For providing any output, knack stator circuit unit 28A goes into function, except with the transmission ends 29A of core circuit 22 swap dates, electronic circuit unit 28A also additionally has another control end 27A, is used for accepting the control signal of a sequencing (programming).If the control signal of control end 27A meets a certain first default value (when being fixed as one first constant value such as its voltage), electronic circuit unit 28A just can provide first kind output to go into function, such as provides less drive current.When the control signal of control end 27A meets another second default value (when being one second constant value such as its voltage), electronic circuit unit 28A just can provide another kind of output to go into function, such as provides bigger drive current or the like.In like manner, electronic circuit unit 28B then disposes with the transistor layout of other kind in addition and is combined into the output/input circuit that another kind has the finite process ability; Except with the transmission ends 29B of core circuit swap data, electronic circuit unit 28B also is provided with control end 27B, 27C in addition, provides any output and goes into function so that sequencing, control electronic circuit unit 28B are actual.In general, control end is to be used for some circuit in an activation (enable) or anergy (disable) the electronic circuit unit, makes this electronic circuit unit can optionally provide multiple different output to go into function.
When the user of database 26 will realize in chip 20 that function is gone in different outputs, equally also be to apply mechanically existing electronic circuit cell layout design in the database 26, cooperate again control end specification in each electronic circuit unit come each electronic circuit unit of sequencing the actual output that provides go into function.For instance, suppose that output/input circuit 24A in the chip 20 and 24B will have different output and go into function, and these two kinds of outputs to go into function just be that function is gone in two kinds of outputs that electronic circuit unit 28A can realize, the topological design that the user just can directly apply mechanically same electronic circuit unit 28A realizes output/input circuit 24A, 24B.Certainly, except the online configuration of finishing core circuit and interface circuit of core circuit 22 and the transmission ends layout of output/ input circuit 24A, 24B, the user also will design the online 23A of layout, the 23B of the control end of two output/ input circuit 24A, 24B in addition, make the control end of these two output/ input circuit 24A, 24B can receive different control signals respectively, provide different output to go into function with the topological design of same seed circuit unit.In general, control end can receive control signal by core circuit, or is shorted to Dc bias different on the chip (similarly being Vdd voltage or ground terminal voltage), comes as different control signals with different Dc biases.
Do not meet two kinds of outputs that electronic circuit unit 28A can support and go into function if function is gone in the required output of other output/input circuit, the user still will select the electronic circuit unit of other kind for use in database 26.For instance, in Fig. 2, if the demand that function does not all meet output/input circuit 24C is gone in two kinds of outputs that electronic circuit unit 28A can provide, the user still will select for use other electronic circuit unit (similarly being electronic circuit unit 28B) to realize output/input circuit 24C.Similarly, it is online that user's (layout design engineers just) still will carry out layout in addition for the control end of output/input circuit 24C, introduces the control signal of sequencing.
Though the common technology among Fig. 2 may be realized out different outputs with the design of same electronic circuit unit and go into function that its technology still has shortcoming.For instance, when the user will make it output that possesses other kind go into function if the performance (performance) of a certain output/input circuit is not so good as expection, the user may still will use other kind electronic circuit unit in the database 26 instead.Because the variety classes electronic circuit unit in the database 26 has different transistor arrangement, the electronic circuit unit of using other kind instead still can relate to the modification of many masks.Under preferable situation, the user wants that the sort of output of selecting for use goes into function and may just meet the another kind that can support same electronic circuit unit and export into function, for instance, it was to go into function with first kind of output of electronic circuit unit 28A to realize originally that function is gone in the output of supposing the output/input circuit 24A among Fig. 2, but function is gone in the output that the user will revise output/input circuit 24A after test, and to go into function just be that function is gone in second kind of output that electronic circuit unit 28A can support and revise the desired output in back.Yet even under this preferred case, the user still must remodify the online layout of the control end of this electronic circuit unit.In addition, the control end in each electronic circuit unit also can additionally take the layout area of each electronic circuit unit, increases the complexity of circuit layout.
