Specifying the placement of submodules in the top module during the pnr using Innovus

Hi everyone,

I'm designing a digital chip that will be fabricated. I have a HDL top module that includes several submodules inside it. I want to define the position of some of the submodules during the PnR so that later I can specify there positions in the Micrograph photo after the IC fabrication. When I perform the PnR using Innovus, I always got a layout shape where the submodules seems to be flatted. I wonder if there is a way to specify the placement of each submodule in my top module  (maybe in the tcl file) during the PnR so later I can define there positions in the micrograph photo. 

Thanks in Advance!

DesignCon Best Paper 2024: Addressing Challenges in PDN Design

Explore Impacts of Finite Interconnect Impedance on PDN Characterization

Over the past few decades, many details have been worked out in the power distribution network (PDN) in the frequency and time domains. We have simulation tools that can analyze the physical structure from DC to very high frequencies, including spatial variations of the behavior. We also have frequency- and time-domain test methods to measure the steady-state and transient behavior of the built-up systems.

All of these pieces in our current toolbox have their own assumptions, limitations, and artifacts, and they constantly raise the challenging question that designers need to answer: How to select the design process, simulation, measurement tools, and processes so that we get reasonable answers within a reasonable time frame with a reasonable budget.

Read this award-winning DesignCon 2024 paper titled “Impact of Finite Interconnect Impedance Including Spatial and Domain Comparison of PDN Characterization.” Led by Samtec’s Istvan Novak and written with a team of nine authors from Cadence, Amazon, and Samtec, the paper discusses a series of continually evolving challenges with PDN requirements for cutting-edge designs.

Using Voltus IC Power Integrity to Overcome 3D-IC Design Challenges

Power network design and analysis of 3D-ICs is a major challenge due to the complex nature and large size of the power network. In addition, designers must deal with the complexity of routing power through the interposer, multiple dies, through-silicon vias (TSVs), and through-dielectric vias (TDVs).
Cadence’s Integrity 3D-IC Platform and Voltus IC Power Integrity Solution provide a fully integrated solution for early planning and analysis of 3D-IC power networks, 3D-IC chip-centric power integrity signoff, and hierarchical methods that significantly improve capacity and performance of power integrity (PI) signoff while maintaining a very high level of accuracy at signoff. This blog summarizes the typical design challenges faced by today’s 3D-IC designers, as discussed in our recent webinar, “Addressing 3D-IC Power Integrity Design Challenges.” Please click here to view the full webinar.

Major Trends in Advanced Chip Design

From chips to chiplets, stacked die, 3D-ICs, and more, three major trends are impacting advanced semiconductor packaging design. The first is heterogenous integration, which we define as a disaggregated approach to designing systems on chip (SoCs) from multiple chiplets. This approach is similar to system-in-package (SiP) design, except that instead of integrating multiple bare die  including 3D stacking – on a single substrate, multiple IPs are integrated in the form of chiplets on a single substrate.

The second major trend is around new silicon manufacturing techniques that leverage silicon vias (TSVs) and high-density fanout RDL. These advancements mean that silicon is becoming a more attractive material for packaging, especially when high bandwidth and form factor become key attributes in the end design. This brings new design and verification challenges to most packaging engineers who typically work with organic and ceramic substrate materials.

Finally, on the ecosystem side, all the large semiconductor foundries now offer their own versions of advanced packaging. This brings new ways of supporting design teams with technologies like reference flows and PDKs, concepts that have typically been lacking in the packaging community. Cadence has worked with many of the leading foundries and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test facilities (OSATs) to develop multi-chip(let) packaging reference flows and package assembly design kits. The downside is that, with the time restrictions designers are under today, there isn’t enough time to simulate the details of these flows and PDKs further.

For those who must make the best electro/thermal/physical decisions to achieve the best power/performance/area/cost (PPAC), factors can include accurate die size estimations, thermal feasibility, die-to-die interconnect planning, interposer planning (silicon/organic), front-to-front and front-to-back (F2F/F2B) planning, layer stack and electromigration/ IR drop (EMIR)/TSV planning, IO bandwidth feasibility, and system-level architecture selection.

3D-IC Power Network Design and Analysis

The key to success in 3D-IC design is early power integrity planning and analysis. Cadence’s Integrity 3D-IC platform is a high-capacity 3D-IC platform that enables 3D design planning, implementation, and system analysis in a single, unified cockpit. Cadence’s Voltus IC Power Integrity Solution is a comprehensive full chip electromigration, IR drop, and power analysis solution. With its fully distributed architecture and hierarchical analysis capabilities, Voltus provides very fast analysis and has the capacity to handle the largest designs in the industry. Typically, 3D-IC PDN design and analysis is performed in four phases, as shown in Figure 1.

Phase 1 - Perform early power delivery network (PDN) exploration with each fabric’s PDN cascaded in system PI with early circuit models.

Phase 2 – Plan 3D-IC PDNs in Cadence’s Integrity 3D-IC platform, including micro bumps, TSVs, and through dielectric vias (TDVs), power grid synthesis for dies, and early rail analysis and optimization.

Phase 3 – Perform full chip-centric signoff in Voltus with detailed die, interposer, and package models, including chip die models, while keeping some dies flat.

Phase 4 – Perform full system-level signoff with Cadence’s Sigrity SystemPI using detailed extracted package models from Sigrity XtractIM, board models from Sigrity PowerSI or Clarity 3D Solver, interposer models from XtractIM or Voltus, and chip power models from Voltus.

Figure 1. 3D-IC PDN design and analysis phases

3D-IC Chip-Centric Signoff

The integration of Integrity 3D-IC and Voltus enables chip-centric early analysis and signoff. Figure 2 and Figure 3 highlight the chip centric early PI optimization and signoff flows. In early analysis, the on-chip power networks are synthesized, and the micro bumps and TSVs can be placed and optimized. In the signoff stage, all the detailed design data is used for power analysis, and detailed models are extracted and used for package, interposer, and on-die power networks.


Figure 2. Early chip-centric PI analysis and optimization flow

Figure 3. Chip-centric 3D-IC PI signoff

Hierarchical 3D-IC PI Analysis

To improve the capacity and performance of 3D-IC PI analysis, Voltus enables hierarchical analysis using chiplet models. Chiplet models can be reduced chip models in spice format or more accurate xPGV models which are highly accurate proprietary models generated by Voltus. With xPGV models, the hierarchical PI analysis has almost the same accuracy as flat analysis but offers 10X or higher benefit in runtime and memory requirements.

Conclusion

This blog has highlighted the major design trends enabled by advanced 3D packaging and the design challenges arising from these advancements. The design of power delivery networks is one of these major challenges. We have discussed Cadence solutions to overcome this PI challenge.

How to allow DRCs to the surrounding objects using Etch Back option

Starting from SPB23.1, a new option, Allow DRCs to surrounding metal, has been added in the Etch-Back form to allow DRCs to the surrounding objects. form to allow DRCs to the surrounding objects.

The Allow DRCs to surrounding metal option lets you see and adjust objects instead of the current behavior, which sacrifices the width of the mask for the trace.

  • When this option is turned off, it maintains the EB mask to another object clearance.
  • When this option is enabled, it keeps the EB mask to the EM trace edge clearance and shows a DRC if the EB mask to another object spacing is out of rule.

How to avoid adding degassing holes to a particular shape

In a package design, designers often need to perform degassing. This is typically done at the end of the design process before sending the design to the manufacturer.

Degassing is a process where you perforate power planes, voltage planes, and filled shapes in your design. Degassing holes let the gas escape from beneath the metal during manufacturing of the substrate. The perforations or holes for degassing are generally small, having a specified size and shape, and are spaced regularly across the surface of the plane. If the degassing process is not done, it may result in the formation of gas bubbles under the metal, which may cause the surface of the metal to become uneven. After you degas the design, it is recommended to perform electrical verification.

Allegro X APD has degassing features that allow users to automate the process and place holes in the entire shape.

In today’s topic, we will talk about how to avoid adding  degassing holes on a particular shape.

Sometimes, a designer may need to avoid adding degassing holes to a particular shape on a layer. All other shapes on the layer can have degassing holes but not this shape. Using the Layer Based Degassing Parameters option, the designer can set the degassing parameters for all shapes on the layer. Now, the designer would like to defer adding degassing holes for this particular shape.

You may wonder if there is an easy way to achieve this. We will now see how this can be done with the tool.

Once the degassing parameters are set, performing Display > Element on any of the shapes on that layer will show the degassing parameters set.

You can apply the Degas_Not_Allowed property to a shape to specify that degassing should not be performed on this shape, even if the degassing requirements are met. Select the shape and add the property as shown below.

Switch to Shape Edit application mode (Setup > Application mode > Shape Edit) and window-select all shapes on the layer. Then, right-click and select Deferred Degassing > All Off.

Now, all shapes on the layer will have degassing holes except for the shape which has the Degas_Not_Allowed property attached to it.

Virtuoso Studio IC 23.1: Using Net Tracer for Design Review

This blog explores how Virtuoso Studio Net Tracer can help you perform a design review.

We’ll use the net connectivity option, which allows the user to get a clean highlighted net. You can use the Net Tracer tool to highlight the nets. You can find the Net Tracer command under the connectivity pulldown menu in the layout window.

Trace manager and the ability to display different islands on the same net with other colors, you can identify and connect the unconnected islands as you wish.

The Net Tracer utility traces the nets in the physical view (layout). The trace is a highlighted net, which is a non-selectable object. The Net Tracer utility is available from Virtuoso Layout Suite XL onwards. You can use this utility based on your specific needs and preferences.

For a better understanding of the Net Tracer feature, let’s see one scenario between the circuit designer and layout engineer for a layout design review.

Circuit designer: Can we go through the routed input nets “inm” and “inp”?

Layout engineer: From the below layout view where they are highlighted using the XL connectivity, today I will use Net Tracer utility for the design review.

Circuit designer: I have never heard of this feature. Let's see how it works.

Layout engineer: Sure, now we turn on the Net Tracer toolbar using the below option.

You see the Net Tracer options form here:

As you can see on my screen, I have opened the layout view and engaged the Net Tracer utility.

Net Tracer allows shapes to be traced on a net in two tracing modes, namely, physical and logical, where shapes on the same net are physically or logically connected.

Physical tracing gathers all the shapes physically connected on the same net.

Logical tracing gathers all the shapes assigned to the same net. It highlights the net as in the source design (schematic). It will highlight shapes on the same net, even if they are isolated shapes that are not physically connected.

For this scenario, let us use physical tracing for input nets “inm” and “inp."

Highlighted nets are shown below:

Net “inm”                    Net “inp”                   Nets “inm” and “inp” 

      

Net Tracer has features like physical and logical tracing, preview, step-by-step mode, ease of tracing a net on a shape out of multiple underlying shapes, and so on.

Let us explore logical tracing for output nets “outm” and “outp”:

Here, you can see how to enable true color and halo before enabling logical tracing to identify the metal route. After enabling the true color halo, enable the logical trace.

Here, I am opening the trace manager to search “outm” and “outp” and click trace. That will trace the particular nets as shown.

Net Tracer has a preview feature, which is helpful in terms of the number of previewed objects. This preview capability hints at how the trace would appear when you create it. This useful feature in Virtuoso Studio highlights both completed and incomplete nets, helping the user better understand the status of the highlighted nets.

Circuit designer: Thanks for the design review. You have done good work. Net Tracer clearly shows both types of tracing, and it was even easy for the circuit designer to understand.

Layout engineer: Let me share the link to the Net Tracer RAK, where other layout engineers can explore many more amazing features of the Net Tracer.

Using Vmanager Pre-Script to launch a timed script

I would like to send an update about a vmanager regression status x days after the regression has been run. In the current environment, the vmanager regression is creating a new filepath for logs automatically based on regression name/date, so I can't use a cron job to gather logs, as the log location is not known. 


I tried to use the pre session script to launch a detached shell script that would run after a delay, but when the pre_script runs, it waits until everything is completed before finishing and moving on to starting the regression.

Here is the test pre_script I am using:

#!/bin/sh

echo "pre_script start"

delay_script "FIRST" 1
nohup delay_script "SECOND" 30 & disown
delay_script "THIRD" 1

echo "pre_script end"
exit 0

Here is the test delay_script I am using:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Starting $1"

sleep $2

echo "Ending $1"

Here is the script output when run from terminal. After the "pre_script end", I get control back.

Here is the script output when run from vmanager. There is no "nohup", and the pre_session phase doesn't complete until all the delay scripts complete.


My question is, is there a better way to achieve my goal here? (The goal being to run a script from the vmanager log directory automatically x days after the regression). I think I could use the pre_script to send directory information for an auxiliary cron job to pick up, but I would prefer to not have to have extra cronjobs needed for this.

Collecting Coverage using Vmanager

I am running a regression in order to collect the coverage. However I have an issue. I am setting a signal to 0 when reset is de-asserted  then this signal takes a fixed value when the reset is asserted.

else 

init_val31'h34013FF7

Using "add net constraints" command in Conformal

Hi

I have tried using "add net constraints" command to place one-cold constraints on a tristate enable bus. In the command line we need to specify the "net pathname" on which the constraints are to be enforced.

The bus here is 20-bit. How should the net pathname be specified to make this 20-bit bus signals one_hot or one_cold.

The bus was declared as follows:
ten_bus [19:0]

The command I used was

add net constraints one_hot /ren_bus[19]

What would the above command mean?
Should we not specify all the nets' pathnames on the bus?
Is it sufficient to specify the pathname of one net on the bus?
I could not get much info regarding the functionality of this command. I would be obliged if anyone can throw some light.

Thanks
