Hi,

What is meant by 130 nm, 90nm, 65nm etc. How do they arrive at this value?

Thanks!
 

what is meant by technology in asic

Hi

look at MOSFET Scaling in this link:

h**p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOSFET

*-> t

tnx
 

bangalore + asic + 2009 + sep

these are the chip process flow!
 

Re: ASIC technology

These values are nothing but your gate length values in layout.
 

Re: ASIC technology

basically what you should be interested about these values is that Lesser the value of tecnology , faster and low power the device . also have more resources due to less size per transistor.
 

Re: ASIC technology

It is an advanced lithographic node used in volume CMOS semiconductor fabrication. Transistor gate lengths can reach as low as 25 nm on a nominally 65 nm process.
The devices were scaled as the processes reach lower values. A 65nm silicon technology roughly doubles transistor density compared to the previous 90nm generation.
 

Re: ASIC technology

As per my knowledge Xnm means, in the transistor gate channel length is Xnm. Does this answer your question?

Re: ASIC technology

A transistor is generally charectarised by its gate length (L) & gate width (W). Gate length is the distance, an electron has to travel from highly doped Source to Drain. Xnm refers to the gate length.

apprxoximately each lower node technology is "0.7 times the previous technology"
i.e 130 nm, 90 nm, 65 nm and 45 nm
