About this ebook
The Art of Analog Layout (3rd Edition) by Alan Hastings is a comprehensive text focused on the practical engineering principles needed to successfully design analog integrated circuit layouts. The third edition is heavily updated and rewritten to account for advanced modern process advancements, placing special emphasis on device cross-sections, failure mechanisms, and carrier-based operational models without relying on excessive mathematical analysis. [1, 2]
The primary topics and structural chapters covered in the text include:
Core Foundation Topics
- Device Physics: Explains carrier-based models of device operation, pn junctions, and electrical behavior essential for layout planning. [1, 2]
- Semiconductor Fabrication: Covers the lithography, etching, diffusion, and modern processing steps that physically construct the IC. [1, 2]
- Layout Mechanics: Introduces fundamental drawing rules, geometric configurations, and the mechanics of modern layout routing. [1, 2]
- Representative Processes: Compares the structural features of standard bipolar, polygate CMOS, and analog BiCMOS (including DMOS transistors). [1]
- Failure Mechanisms: Dedicates significant focus to structural hazards including electromigration, latch-up, SILC, GIDL, NBTI/PTBI, electrical vs. electrothermal SOA, and breakdown voltages (\(BV_{dss}\) / \(BV_{dii}\)). [1]
Passive & Active Components
- Resistors: Discusses layout styles, parasitics, and layout-induced variations.
- Capacitors and Inductors: Covers structural types, dielectric properties, and optimization techniques for high-performance analog systems.
- Bipolar Transistors: Focuses on the layout of NPN and PNP devices along with their practical applications.
- MOS Transistors: Details layout techniques for MOSFETs, including historical and modern floating-gate devices like EPROM and EEPROM. [1, 2, 3]
Advanced Layout Disciplines
- Matching Techniques: Comprehensive methods to avoid component mismatch in resistors and capacitors due to the hydrogen effect, package shift, and thermal gradients. [1]
- MOS Transistor Matching: Focuses on minimizing geometric variations, polysilicon etch rate variations, channel length modulation, and common-centroid layout styles. [1]
- Specialized Device Concepts: Explores successful vs. flawed merged device designs, guard rings, shielding, and noise reduction. [1]
