| 2.0 Scope |
| ========= |
| |
| 2.1 This document covers rules from Deep Nwell layer to passivation layer and scribe line layout. |
| Device parameters, device models and process flow are available in separate documents. |
| |
| 2.2 This document also provides information on drawn layer definition, generated layer rules and mask |
| layer numbers. |
| |
| 2.3 The dimensions stated in this document refer to the minimum allowed geometry or the window of |
| allowed geometry. Deviations from these rules have to be approved by Globalfoundries. |
| |
| 2.4 Refer to YI-000-XX010 for the terminology used in Globalfoundries design rule specifications |
| |
| 2.5 Two terms used in this document have the following specific meanings: |
| |
| 2.5.1 Design Rules (“Rules” or “Layout Rules”) specify layout dimensions that meet the Process and |
| Electrical Parameter Specifications. Rules are implemented in the Design Rule Check (DRC) |
| runsets. Prior to design data submission using the Globalfoundries Foundry Service Request |
| Specification (CX-008) procedure, the design must pass all DRC tests. Rule violations must be |
| waived through the Design Rule (DR) Waiver Request Procedure (YI-000) before design is |
| accepted for tapeout. |
| |
| 2.5.2 Design Guidelines (“Guidelines” or “Layout Guidelines”) are provided on an “as is” basis, |
| without warranty of any kind, express or implied, to assist the reader in designing circuits for |
| improved manufacturability and reliability. Guidelines are neither implemented in DRC runsets |
| nor reviewed in the Design Rule Waiver Request Procedure (YI-000). |
| |
| 2.6 Refer to the reference documents for information on mask sizing and alignment sequence |
| (BiasTable), Optical Proximity Correction (OPC), Proprietary SRAM cells, and dummy COMP |
| generation. |
