Deep sub-micron tech

hi,

how can one explain deep sub-micron technology?

thanks in advance,
Prasad

Re: Deep sub-micron tech

hi,
from designer's perspective, deep sub-tech means faster, more leakage power, and more SI issue.

Re: Deep sub-micron tech

Deep submicron technology means,using transitoros of smaller size with faster switching rates. As we know from Moore's law the size of transistors are doubled by every year in a system,the technology has to fit those inc in transistors in small area with better performance and low-power.

Submircon Name is due to 0.35um>0.25um>0.18um>0.13um as reduced in sizes of micron level.

Several issues in Deep submicron technology are:

Challenges for Low-Power Design
Better Signal Integrity or Signal quality
High-Desity and Design Complexity
Packing such complex chips and Testing
Also Cost efffective approach to reduce Higher Design NRE

Re: Deep sub-micron tech

Is this deep submicron technology related to frequency of operaion of the chip? If so, can you please explain the concept......

Hi,

Micron tehcnology ==> 1um, 2um, 3um, etc
sub-micron techology ==> 0.8um, 0.6um, 0.35um 0.25um etc
deep sub-micro technology ==> 0.18um, 0.13um
nanotechnoogy ==> 90nm, 65nm etc

Basically, use the words "sub" and "deep" as in the English defination of the words.

Eng Han

Re: Deep sub-micron tech

Of course deep-submicron even nano technology means high-density integration.
In my opion the biggest problem we should face in nano design are leakage, temperature susecibility, signal/power intergrity and device parameter variability.
