Description

System and method for verifying capacitor mismatch test result
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of capacitance mismatch test, in particular to a system and a method for verifying a capacitance mismatch test result.
Background
Three types of capacitance are often encountered in integrated circuit design and routing (IC layout): a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) capacitor (MOS capacitor), a Metal Oxide Metal (Metal Oxide Metal capicator, MOM) capacitor, and a Metal injection molded (Metal injection Molding, MIM) capacitor.
The MOS capacitor is a MOS tube with a structure at two ends, the capacitance value is inaccurate, the capacitance value which changes along with the change of control voltage can be realized, and the connection method of the upper polar plate and the lower polar plate is not interchangeable; the MOM capacitor is generally an interdigital (finger) capacitor, namely, the capacitor between edges of the same-layer metal (metal) is utilized, multiple layers of metal (metal) can be overlapped for saving area, the number of layers of metal (metal) in the PDK can be selected and is generally only used in the advanced process of the multiple layers of metal, the obtained capacitor value is not deterministic and stable like the MIM capacitor because the capacitor value is realized through the layout of multiple layers of wiring, the capacitor value can be generally used in application scenes such as low requirement on the capacitor value and only use of relative ratio, and the upper polar plate and lower polar plate connection method can be exchanged; MIM capacitors are similar to plate capacitors, the capacitance is relatively accurate, the capacitance does not change with bias voltage, the capacitance is generally manufactured by mTOPl and mTOP-1, the capacitance can be estimated by using (the area of the upper electrode plate is the unit capacitance), the connection method of the upper electrode plate and the lower electrode plate is not interchangeable, and the MIM capacitors are generally used in analog (analog) and Radio Frequency (RF) circuit design processes. Three capacitors with the same area have MIM capacitance value < MOM capacitance value, and MIM capacitance value is about 1/3 times MOS capacitance value.
The MOM capacitor has the advantages that an additional photomask (mask) is not needed, the MIM capacitor can be realized by the additional photomask (mask) and the process, and under the condition that the current process size is smaller, the capacitor with larger capacitance and higher precision is obtained by using a smaller area, so that the capacitor has larger use value, and the mismatching of the MOM capacitor is made, so that the capacitor has larger significance.
Fig. 1 is a typical MOM capacitor structure, which is illustrated as two capacitors C1, C2, the left finger structure 10 forming the capacitor C1, the right finger structure 20 forming the capacitor C2, and the metal lines 31-33 being the outgoing lines of the capacitors. In the prior art, a probe is generally directly used for testing the designed capacitor, and under the scene of matching, the matching of the capacitor is visual and important, and the traditional method is to process data of a measurement result and judge a capacitor mismatch test result by combining system budget.
The specific mismatch verification process is as follows:
First, calculate the difference of the capacitances
Capacitance difference
Then, the standard deviation of the capacitance difference, i.e. mismatch, is calculated
Capacitance Mismatch mismatch=stdev (Δc)
When Mismatch epsilon [0.05%,1% ] is satisfied, the capacitance Mismatch test result is considered to be satisfactory.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of 3 sets of measurement results of MOM capacitors of different configuration test systems on the same design parameter, wherein the square is test 1 (Mea a), the triangle is test 2 (Mea a), the fork is test 3 (Mea a 3), the horizontal axis is area, the vertical axis is capacitance mismatch, and the 3 kinds of test data all meet the requirement that the mismatch is less than 1%, so that it is impossible to determine which configuration test system is better.
