Abstract
A leading edge 14 nm SoC platform technology based upon the 2 nd generation Tri-Gate transistor technology [5] has been optimized for density, low power and wide dynamic range. 70 nm gate pitch, 52 nm metal pitch and 0.0499 um 2 HDC SRAM cells are the most aggressive design rules reported for 14/16 nm node SoC process to achieve Moore's Law 2x density scaling over 22 nm node. High performance NMOS/PMOS drive currents of 1.3/1.2 mA/um, respectively, have been achieved at 0.7 V and 100 nA/um off-state leakage, 37%/50% improvement over 22 nm node. Ultra-low power NMOS/PMOS drives are 0.50/0.32 mA/um at 0.7 V and 15pA/um Ioff. This technology also deploys high voltage I/O transistors to support up to 3.3 V I/O. A full suite of analog, mixed-signal and RF features are also supported.
