Practical 1 Date: 3ed Jan.
Aim: To Study about Microwind tool and λ (Lambda) Rules for Layout Generation.
Objective: 1. To be familiar with tool.
2. To learn about λ (Lambda) Rules for 90 nm Technology.
Microwind Getting Started:
The present experiment is a guide to using the « Microwind » educational software on a PC
computer.
The MICROWIND program allows the student to design and simulate an integrated circuit. The
package itself contains a library of common logic and analog ICs to view and simulate.
MICROWIND includes all the commands for a mask editor as well as new original tools never
gathered before in a single module. You can gain access to Circuit Simulation by pressing one
single key. The electric extraction of your circuit is automatically performed and the analog
simulator produces voltage and current curves immediately.
A specific command displays the characteristics of pMOS and nMOS, where the size of the
device and the process parameters can be very easily changed. Altering the MOS model
parameters and, then, seeing the effects on the Vds and Ids curves constitutes a good interactive
tutorial on devices.
The Process Simulator shows the layout in a vertical perspective, as when fabrication has been
completed. This feature is a significant aid to supplement the descriptions of fabrication found in
most textbooks.
The Logic Cell Compiler is a particularly sophisticated tool enabling the automatic design of a
CMOS circuit corresponding to your logic description in VERILOG. The DSCH software, which
is a user-friendly schematic editor and a logic simulator presented in a companion manual, is
used to generate this Verilog description. The cell is created in compliance with the environment,
design rules and fabrication specifications.
A set of CMOS processes ranging from 1.2µm down to state-of-the-art 0.25µm are proposed.
To use the MICROWIND program use the following procedure:
Go to the directory in which the software has been copied
2
(The default directory is MICROWIND)
Double-click on the MicroWind icon
The MICROWIND display window is shown in Figure 1. It includes four main windows: the
main menu, the layout display window, the icon menu and the layer palette. The cursor appears
in the middle of the layout window and is controlled by using the mouse.
The layout window features a grid that represents the current scale of the drawing, scaled in
lambda () units and in micron.
The lambda unit is fixed to half of the minimum available lithography of the technology. The
default technology is a 0.8 µm technology, consequently lambda is 0.4 µm.
Fig. 1. The MICROWIND window as it appears at the initialization stage..
The MOS device
The MOS symbols are reported below. The n-channel MOS is built using polysilicon as the gate
material and N+ diffusion to build the source and drain. The p-channel MOS is built using
polysilicon as the gate material and P+ diffusion to build the source and drain.

nMOS pMOS
Manual Design
By using the following procedure, you can create a manual design of the n-channel MOS. The
default icon is the drawing icon shown above. It permits box editing. The display window is
empty. The palette is located in the lower right corner of the screen. A red color indicates the
current layer. Initially the selected layer in the palette is polysilicon. The two first steps are
illustrated in Figure 2.
Fix the first corner of the box with the mouse.
While keeping the mouse button pressed, move the mouse to the
opposite corner of the box.
Release the button. This creates a box in polysilicon layer as shown in Figure 2.
The box width should not be inferior to 2 , which is the minimum width of the
polysilicon box.
4
Fig. 2. Creating a polysilicon box.
Change the current layer into N+ diffusion by a click on the palette of the Diffusion N+ button.
Make sure that the red layer is now the N+ Diffusion. Draw a n-diffusion box at the bottom of
the drawing as in Figure 3. N-diffusion boxes are represented in green. The intersection between
diffusion and polysilicon creates the channel of the nMOS device.
Fig. 3. Creating the N-channel MOS transistor

Process Simulation
Click on this icon to access process simulation. The cross-section is given by a click of the
mouse at the first point and the release of the mouse at the second point. In the example below
(Figure 4), three nodes appear in the cross-section of the n-channel MOS device: the gate (red),
the left diffusion called source (green) and the right diffusion called drain (green), over a
substrate (gray). The gate is isolated by a thin oxide called the gate oxide. Various steps of
oxidation have lead to a thick oxide on the top of the gate.
Fig. 4. The cross-section of the nMOS devices.
The physical properties of the source and of the drain are exactly the same. Theoretically, the
source is the origin of channel impurities. In the case of this nMOS device, the channel
impurities are the electrons. Therefore, the source is the diffusion area with the lowest voltage.
The polysilicon gate floats over the channel, and splits the diffusion into 2 zones, the source and
the drain. The gate controls the current flow from the drain to the source, both ways. A high
voltage on the gate attracts electrons below the gate, creates an electron channel and enables
current to flow. A low voltage disables the channel.
6
Mos Characteristics
Click on the MOS characteristics icon. The screen shown in Figure 5 appears. It represents the
Id/Vd simulation of the nMOS device.
Fig. 5. N-Channel MOS characteristics.
The MOS size (width and length of the channel situated at the intersection of the polysilicon gate
and the diffusion) has a strong influence on the value of the current. In Figure 5, the MOS width
is 12.8µm and the length is 1.2µm. Click on OK to return to the editor. A high gate voltage (Vg
=5.0) corresponds to the highest Id/Vd curve. For Vg=0, no current flows. The maximum current
is obtained for Vg=5.0V, Vd=5.0V, with Vs=0.0.
The MOS parameters correspond to SPICE Level 3. You can alter the value of the parameters, or
even access to Level 1. You may also skip to PMOS. You may as well add some measurements
to fit the simulation. Finally, you can simulate devices with other sizes in the proposed list.
7
Add Properties for Simulation
Properties must be added to the layout to activate the MOS device. The most convenient way to
operate the MOS is to apply a clock to the gate, another to the source and to observe the drain.
The summary of available properties is reported below.
VDD property
VSS property
Clock propertyPulse property
Node visible
Apply a clock to the drain. Click on the Clock icon, click on the left diffusion. The Clock
menu appears (See below). Change the name into « drain » and click on OK. A default clock
with 3 ns period is generated. The Clock property is sent to the node and appears at the right
hand side of the desired location with the name « drain ».
Fig. 6. The clock menu.
Apply a clock to the gate. Click on the Clock icon and then, click on
the polysilicon gate. The clock menu appears again.
8
Change the name into « gate» and click on OK to apply a clock with 6 ns period.
Watch the output: Click on the Visible icon and then, click on the right diffusion.
The window below appears. Click OK. The Visible property is then sent
to the node. The associated text « s1 » is in italic. The wave form of this node
will appear at the next simulation.
Fig. 7. The visible node menu.
Save before Simulation
Click on File in the main menu. Move the cursor to Save as ... and click on it. A new window
appears, into which you enter the design name. Type, for example, myMos. Use the keyboard for
this and press . Then click on OK. After a confirmation question, the design is saved under that
filename.
IMPORTANT : Always save BEFORE any simulation !
Analog Simulation
Click on Simulate on the main menu. The timing diagrams of the inverter appear, as shown in
Figure 8.
9
Fig. 8. Analog simulation of the MOS device.
When the gate is at zero, no channel exists so the node s1 is disconnected from the drain. When
the gate is on, the source copies the drain. It can be observed that the nMOS device drives well at
zero but at the high voltage. The final value is 4.2V, that is VDD minus the threshold voltage.
Click on More in order to perform more simulations. Click on Stop to return to the editor.

Practical 4 Date:31st Jan
Aim: To study about VHDL as first Look.
Objective: 1. To learn Basic about VHDL.
2. To know about VHDL Elements.
Introduction:
VHDL stands for Very high speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language
Funded by the US Department of Defense in the 70's and 80's
Originally meant for design standardisation, documentation, simulation and ease of
maintenance.
Established as IEEE standard IEEE 1076 in 1987. An updated standard, IEEE 1164 was
adopted in 1993. In 1996 IEEE 1076.3 became a VHDL synthesis standard.
Today VHDL is widely used across the industry for design description, simulation and
synthesis.
Software Language Vs Hardware Description Language
In a software language, all assignments are sequential. This means that the order in which the
statements appear is significant because they are executed that way. On the other hand the events
in hardware are concurrent, and they must be represented that way. A software language cannot
be used to describe hardware and therefore a Hardware Description Language is required. To
illustrate this fact consider the following circuit:
The required output equation is C = (not (X) and Y) or (not (X))
If the statements are evaluated sequentially like software, we get different results when the order
is changed. This is because of the fact that hardware is always concurrent. Hence software
languages and tools cannot be used to describe hardware. In VHDL language "concurrent
statements" are defined to take care of concurrency in hardware. The simulation engine (that runs
on sequential computers) also has to ensure concurrency in the simulation results.
26
How is concurrency achieved?
One of the requirements for the simulation engine is "order independence" for all concurrent
statements. Thus, if a signal is inverted by process "A", and that signal is read by process "B" at
the same instant of time, it is imperative that process "B" read the old uninverted value. This is
regardless of whether process "A" or process "B" was executed first. This is achieved means of
scheduling. When the simulator tags the signal for an update, it does not perform the update
immediately, but rather remembers the value to be updated. The value is actually updated when
the simulator has finished processing the complete description once.
Features of VHDL:
VHDL is the combination of following languages
- Sequential Language
- Concurrent Language
- Net-List Language
- Simulation Language
- Timing Specifications
- Test Language
Powerful Language Constructs
- e.g. if –then –else / when –else etc.
Design Hierarchies to create modular design
Support for Design Libraries
Portable and Technology independent
VHDL is not case sensitive
VHDL is a free form language. You can write the whole program on a single line.

LIST OF FILES
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
MICROWIND.EXE Layout Editor and Simulator
*.RUL Design rule files
*.MSK Layout files
*.MES MOS I/V Measurements
*.CIR Spice compatible files
*.TXT Verilog text inputs
*.RUL The MICROWIND program reads the rule file to update the simulator parameters (Vt,
K,VDD, etc...), the design rules and parasitic capacitor values. A detailed description of the
.RUL file is reported at the end of Chapter 8.
*.MSK The MICROWIND software creates data files with the appendix .MSK. Those files are
simple text files containing the list of boxes and layers, and the list of text declarations. The 3D
module can simulate the fabrication process of any .MSK file.
*.CIR The MICROWIND program generates a SPICE compatible description file when the
command File -> Make SPICE File is invoked. For example, if the current file is
MYTEST.MSK, a text file MYTEST.CIR is generated and contains the list of transistors,
capacitors and voltage sources corresponding to the drawing, in SPICE compatible format
