    摘要: A method is disclosed for determining a size of an interconnect between a first and a second conductor respectively in two layers of an integrated circuit while scaling from a reference processing technology to a predetermined processing technology. The method comprises selecting a set of design rules for the conductors based on the predetermined processing technology, determining a length of a first side of a rectangular cross sectional area of the interconnect based on the design rules and a scaling rule for scaling such a length from the reference processing technology to the predetermined processing technology, and determining a length of a second side of the cross sectional area of the interconnect for compensating an increase of a resistance of the interconnect due to the scaling from the reference processing technology to the predetermined processing technology.

    摘要: This invention provides a circuit layout pattern and layout method for matching pairs of metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors used in matched pairs in precision analog circuits. The layout uses dummy Metal oxide field effect transistors, or MOSFETs, to keep the environment the same around each of the MOSFETs in a matched pair. The MOSFETs in a matched pair are in a single row with each MOSFET in the matched pair having dummy MOSFETs adjacent to it on either side. The dummy MOSFETs can be part of the matched pair, can be used in other parts of the circuit, or may not be used. The use of dummy MOSFETs keeps the environment around each MOSFET in the matched pair the same and this improves the matching characteristics.

    摘要: Capacitor arrays may be incorporated within silicon integrated circuits as part of analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog converters. Capacitance ratios between individual capacitors need to be controlled to better than 1%. Because of microloading effects during etching, the areas of the electrodes of the capacitors located along the edges of the array have tended to be slightly less than the areas of electrodes located completely inside the array. The present invention solves this problem by providing additional electrodes located along the periphery of the array, spaced the same distance away from the array edge as the spacing between electrodes inside the array.

    摘要: A method for making a polycide-to-polysilicon capacitor, which has a reduced IPO thickness and low voltage coefficient, is described. A first layer of doped polysilicon is formed over a silicon substrate. A silicide layer is formed over the first layer of doped polysilicon. The first layer of doped polysilicon and the silicide layer are patterned to form a polycide bottom plate of the capacitor. An oxide layer is formed over the bottom plate. The oxide layer is densified. A second layer of doped polysilicon is formed over the oxide layer. The second layer of polysilicon is patterned to form a top plate of the capacitor. The oxide layer is removed except under the top plate of the capacitor, where it acts as a capacitor dielectric, and, finally, the bottom plate is annealed.
