CMOS VLSI
Design
Lecture 0: Introduction
Introduction
 Integrated circuits: many transistors on one chip.
 Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI): very many
 Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
– Fast, cheap, low power transistors
 Today: How to build your own simple CMOS chip
– CMOS transistors
– Building logic gates from transistors
– Transistor layout and fabrication
 Rest of the course: How to build a good CMOS chip

Silicon is a semiconductor
Pure silicon has no free carriers and conducts poorly
Adding dopants increases the conductivity
Group V: extra electron (n-type)
Group III: missing electron, called hole (p-type)

p-n Junctions
 A junction between p-type and n-type semiconductor
forms a diode.
 Current flows only in one direction

nMOS Transistor
 Four terminals: gate, source, drain, body
 Gate – oxide – body stack looks like a capacitor
– Gate and body are conductors
– SiO2 (oxide) is a very good insulator
– Called metal – oxide – semiconductor (MOS)

nMOS Operation
 Body is commonly tied to ground (0 V)
 When the gate is at a low voltage:
– P-type body is at low voltage
– Source-body and drain-body diodes are OFF
– No current flows, transistor is OFF

nMOS Operation Cont.
 When the gate is at a high voltage:
– Positive charge on gate of MOS capacitor
– Negative charge attracted to body
– Inverts a channel under gate to n-type
– Now current can flow through n-type silicon from
source through channel to drain, transistor is ON

pMOS Transistor
 Similar, but doping and voltages reversed
– Body tied to high voltage (VDD)
– Gate low: transistor ON
– Gate high: transistor OFF
– Bubble indicates inverted behavior

Power Supply Voltage
 GND = 0 V
 In 1980’s, VDD = 5V
 VDD has decreased in modern processes
– High VDD would damage modern tiny transistors
– Lower VDD saves power
 VDD = 3.3, 2.5, 1.8, 1.5, 1.2, 1.0, …

Transistors as Switches
 We can view MOS transistors as electrically
controlled switches
 Voltage at gate controls path from source to drain
