Introduction
This document defines the Design Rules and Electrical Parameters for a generic, foundary independent 90nm CMOS Mixed-Signal process. This document is divided into three sections: * CMOS Digital Core Design Rules describes the widths, spacings, enclosures, overlaps, etc. needed to create the physical layout of the core section of a digital CMOS design. * CMOS I/O Design Rules describes the widths, spacings, enclosures, overlaps, etc. needed to create the physical layout of the I/O section of a CMOS design. * CMOS Digital Electrical Parameters describes the electrical parameters of a digital CMOS design.

Terminology Definitions
Spacing - distance from the outside of the edge of a shape to the outside of the edge of another shape.
Enclosure - distance from the inside of the edge of a shape to the outside of the edge of another shape.
Overlap - distance from the inside of the edge of a shape to the inside of the edge of another shape.
Butting - outside of the edge of a shape touching the outside of the edge of another shape.

CMOS I/O Design Rules

ESD Design Rules
The "ESDdummy" marker layer must be used to mark I/O ESD circuitry. If the "ESDdummy" layer is not used, the correct DRC checks of I/O ESD circuitry will not take place. NMOS and PMOS devices used for ESD protection follow a strict finger structure using specific finger dimaensions and layout.
Comment Table ESD Design Rules Rule Value Description Name (um) ESD.1 15 - 65 Width of each finger of NMOS and PMOS in I/O buffers and in Vdd to Vss ESD protection. ESD.2 390 Minimum NMOS combined finger width for I/O buffers and for Vdd to Vss ESD protection. ESD.3 390 Minimum PMOS combined finger width for I/O buffers. ESD.4 Outer Oxide area of NMOS and PMOS in I/O buffers and in Vdd to Vss ESD protection must be Source or connected to Bulk to prevent parasitic bipolars and unwanted discharge paths during ESD zapping. ESD.5 NMOS ESD protection devices must be surrounded by a P+ Guard Ring. ESD.6 PMOS ESD protection devices must be surrounded by an N+ Guard Ring. ESD.7 NMOS and PMOS in ESD protection can NOT have butted taps. ESD.8 NMOS and PMOS in an I/O buffer must have non-salicided Drains. The Contacts still must be salicided. ESD.9 A P+ Oxide strap should be placed between N+ Oxides of different I/O and ESD devices when both connect to different pads. ESD.10 An N+ Oxide strap should be placed between P+ Oxides of different I/O and ESD devices when both connect to different pads. ESD.11 0.05 Minimum SiProt to Poly gate overlap in NMOS and PMOS drains. ESD.12 1.8 Minimum enclosure of SiProt edge to Poly gate edge in NMOS and PMOS I/O drains. ESD.13 1.8 Minimum SiProt to Oxide overlap in NMOS and PMOS I/O drains. ESD.14 0.3 Exact gate length of NMOS and PMOS in I/O buffers and in Vdd to Vss ESD protection. ESD.15 0.25 Minimum Poly gate to Contact spacing in NMOS and PMOS in I/O buffers and in Vdd to Vss ESD protection.
