AGPDK cds_ff_mpt_v_1.0

Vamshi S K

I have asked to use only this Library(PDK) for designing few memory cells. And I have been asked to do it using FinFETs.I wanted to know if this PDK actually contains FinFETs because the name mentions it. But when I read the reference manual I couldn't find any reference to the word FinFET other than on the title page. So which cell is more suitable as a nFinFET and pFinFET.

  • The document is full of the words "fin" and "fins" and "fin pitch". There are no non-FinFET transistors in the PDK (that would be odd, having a mix of FinFET and normal bulk MOS transistors) - if you'd used the library, and enabled categories in the library manager, you'd see there are standard vt (svt), low vt (lvt) and high vt (hvt) nmos and pmos FinFETs available. 

    The documentation is a little sparse for this PDK because it's a demonstrator and not a real-life process, but I don't really see why it would have to keep repeating the word FinFET to convince you! The layouts ought to be pretty obvious too...
