　　内容简介：

　　Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) has become mandatory in advanced CMOS technology nodes. It is well understood that tailoring the transistor characteristics by tuning the technology is not sufficient any more. The transistor characteristics have to meet the requirement for design and optimization of particular circuits, systems and corresponding products. Modeling and simulation play an increasing important role in the DTCO process with the benefits of speeding up and reducing the cost of the technology, circuit and system development and hence reducing the time-to-market.

　　In this talk we will present advanced tools and toll flows developed by Gold Standard Simulations and introduced by Synopsys to enable TCAD based DTCO. In particular we will illustrate how the variability can be captured in early PDK development and in TCAD based DTCO. We will elaborate how the different types of CMOS variability affect the logic and memory design, and how their impact can be capture and mitigated in circuit simulation and validation level. Example of advanced bulk, FDSOI and CMOS technologies will be provided. As an illustration Fig. 1 presents results of the variability simulations of a contemporary FinFET including the impact of Random Discrete Dopants (RDD), Line Edge Roughness (LER) and Metal Gate Granularity (MGG).
