Integrated Calculation of Capacitances for Image Sensor Arrays and other Periodic Designs
DescriptionAccurate coupling capacitances are a key part in the design of modern image sensor cells due to their high speed requirements, large number of active devices and interconnects, and complex inter-layer dielectric structure. Automation of 3D structure creation integrated with the design flow, as well as speed and robustness of capacitance calculation are crucial for a seamless design and optimization flow. Periodicity of image sensor arrays necessitates availability of periodic boundary conditions. High structural complexity (many layout elements, many metal interconnect levels and many dielectric layers) demands efficient numerics for reasonable runtimes. We demonstrate the application of our capacitance simulation package CellCap3D to a PLHB (pixel-elevel hybrid bond) image sensor cell and discuss specifics.
