§17-1 新一代集成工艺仿真系统Sentaurus Process随着集成电路制造工艺技术的迅速发展和日趋成熟，集成电路的集成度迅速攀升，制造流程及工艺步骤也日趋复杂。

当前，硅集成电路制造工艺技术已经达到了纳米级水平，纳米电子学不断深入发展的前提是基于能够达到纳米精度的制造技术【1】。

反过来，纳米级器件的设计与研发则必须有相应的高精度工艺级仿真软件来支持。

通常，对于大尺寸器件（通常特指分立器件），由诸多工艺因素造成的层间界面应力、杂质分布蠕动、空间量子效应及载流子非线性输运等小尺寸效应[2]均可被忽略。

而对于小尺寸（泛指超大规模集成电路中的集成化器件）器件，准确地预期及评价工艺制程后的良品率、实现其所谓的工艺级可制造性设计，则必须充分地考虑小尺寸效应。

新一代集成工艺设计工具Sentaurus Process恰恰解决了纳米尺度的可制造性设计技术难题，成为当前最为先进的集成电路工艺级仿真工具。

§17-1-1 Sentaurus Process工艺级仿真工具简介[3]Sentaurus Process是Synopsys Inc.最新推出的新一代TCAD工艺级仿真工具，被业界誉为第五代集成电路制程级仿真软件，是当前最为先进的纳米级集成工艺仿真工具。

Sentaurus Process是迄今为止集成电路制程级仿真软体中最为全面、最为灵活的多维（一维、二维、三维）工艺级仿真工具。

Sentaurus Process面向当代纳米级集成电路工艺制程，全面支持小尺寸效应的仿真与模拟，用于实现甚大规模（ULSI）集成电路的工艺级虚拟设计，可显著地缩短集成电路制造工艺级设计、工艺级优化乃至晶圆芯片级产品的开发周期。

Sentaurus Process整合了Avanti的TSUPREM系列工艺级仿真工具、Taurus Process系列工艺级仿真工具及ISE的Dios系列工艺级仿真工具，将一维、两维和三维仿真集成于同一平台，在保留传统工艺级仿真工具卡命令行运行模式的基础上，又作了诸多重大改进：1.增加、设置了模型参数数据库浏览器（PDB），为用户提供修改模型参数及增加模型的方便途径；2. 增加、设置了一维模拟结果输出工具（Inspect）和二维、三维模拟结果输出工具（Tecplot SV）。

InspectInspect is a TCAD plotting and analysis tool for xy data, such as 1D doping profiles and terminal characteristics of semiconductor devices. Its script language and library of mathematical functions allow users to compute using curve data, and to manipulate and extract data from simulations.This module is a basic introduction to the features of Inspect.Section Time1.

Getting Started1.1 Overview1.2 Starting Inspect1.3 Loading Datasets1.4 Saving and PrintingObjectivesTo introduce the basic features of Inspect.1.1 OverviewInspect is a versatile tool for efficient viewing of xy plots, such as doping profiles and I–V curves. Inspect extracts parameters, such as junction depth, threshold voltage, and saturation currents, from the respective xy plot. You can manipulate curves interactively by using scripts.Inspect features a large set of mathematical functions for curve manipulation, such as differentiation, integration, and find the minimum and maximum. The Inspect script language is open to Tcl and, therefore, inherits all the power and flexibility of Tcl.Use Tecplot SV to generate presentation-ready and multiframe graphics.1.2 Starting InspectTo start Inspect, at the command line, type:> inspectInspect takes the current directory as its working directory.Inspect can also be launched from within Sentaurus Workbench or Tecplot SV.When it starts, Inspect displays its main window (see Figure 1).Figure 1. Graphical user interface of Inspect. (Click image for full-size view.)The main window has several components:Menu bar and toolbar.The right pane is the plot area where plotted curves are displayed.The left pane has two group boxes: Datasets and Curves.The Datasets group box displays the loaded dataset files with their data components. The To X-Axis, To Left-Y Axis, and To Right Y-Axis buttons are used to map datasets to aparticular axis.The Curves group box displays the names of existing curves and has buttons associated with it. The New button is used to create a curve using the formula library (which is explainedlater), Edit is used to change the graphical attributes of a curve, Delete removes theselected curves, and Delete All removes all curves.The status line at the bottom of the window displays information about the current Inspectsession and the position of the pointer in the plot area.1.3 Loading DatasetsThis section explains different aspects of loading datasets.1.3.1 File FormatBefore being plotted, a data file including multiple datasets must be loaded into Inspect. The file can be in either the DF–ISE .plt format or simple columns format. The DF–ISE .plt format files are typically output of a Synopsys TCAD tool such as Sentaurus Device. An example of this type of file isn1_des.plt.For the simple columns format, Inspect requires the data file starting with a text comment line within double quotation marks, followed by two columns of data, for example:"This is a comment line."1 0.12 0.53 0.9...To continue with this module, right-click n1_des.plt and download the file.1.3.2 LoadingTo load datasets when you start Inspect from the command line, type:> inspect n1_des.pltwhere n1_des.plt is a file containing the datasets to be plotted, for example, drain current versus gate voltage. Multiple files can be loaded simultaneously by listing them after the command, for example:> inspect n1_des.plt n2_des.plt n3_des.plt ...If an Inspect session is open, you can load dataset files from the main window using File > Load Datasets or by clicking the corresponding toolbar button.As a result, Inspect opens the Load Dataset dialog box (see Figure 2) in which you can enter or select the file to be loaded. Multiple files can be loaded sequentially.Figure 2. Load Dataset dialog box.After a dataset file has been loaded, its name is displayed in the Datasets group box. The middle pane lists the names of the data groups of the selected dataset file, and the bottom pane displays the names of the datasets belonging to the group.Figure 3. Main window showing dataset information in Datasets group box. (Click image for full-size view.)1.4 Saving and PrintingInspect supports several data-saving and data-exporting options.1.4.1 Saving the Entire SessionAn entire Inspect session, including its plots, axes, titles, labels, texts, and legends, can be saved. To save an entire session:File > Save All.The session is saved with the extension .sav and can be subsequently restored using File > Restore All when performed interactively, or by executing the following command at the command prompt:> inspect [filename].sav1.4.2 Saving the Inspect SetupThe environment setups of the current Inspect session can be saved in a separate parameter file using File > Save Setup.The saved setup file can be loaded at a later time using File > Load Setup. The default extensionof the file is .par. The content of the file is everything that is in the .sav file except the actual datasets.1.4.3 Exporting Curve DataIn Inspect, the data of the selected curves can be exported in different file formats: TDR, DF–ISE, XGRAPH, XMGA, CSV (comma-separated value), and TXT (tab-delimited).To export curve data:1. File > Export.2. Select the required format.These file formats are recognizable and can be later loaded into Inspect.1.4.4 Writing PostScript FilesThe selected plot inside the plot area can be written to either an EPS or a PS file using: File > Write.1.4.5 PrintingTo print a selected plot inside the plot area:File > Print.Section 1 of 4 | back to top | next section >>Copyright © 2010 Synopsys, Inc. All rights reserved.Inspect2. Plotting Curves2.1 Setting XY Datasets2.2 Customizing Plots2.3 Miscellaneous FeaturesObjectivesTo plot and customize a curve in Inspect.2.1 Setting XY DatasetsSince a data file can contain more than two datasets, Inspect does not try to automatically detect the xy datasets based on their locations in the file.Instead, Inspect requires the xy datasets to be specified explicitly after the data file has been loaded. The To X-Axis, To Left Y-Axis, and To Right Y-Axis buttons are designed for this purpose.For example, to set the OuterVoltage dataset of the gate data group of the n1_des data file as the x-axis of the plot:1. Select the n1_des data file from the top pane of the Datasets group box.2. Select the gate data group from the middle pane.3. Select the OuterVoltage dataset from the bottom pane.4. Click the To X-Axis button.5. The y-axes, including both left and right, can be specified in a similar manner by clicking theTo Left Y-axis and To Right Y-axis buttons. (Multiple datasets can be assigned to the same y-axis if required.)Figure 1 shows a plot that uses the OuterVoltage dataset of the gate as x-axis data and the TotalCurrent dataset of the drain as left y-axis data.Figure 1. Gate outer voltage versus total current drain. (Click image for full-size view.)2.2 Customizing PlotsWhen the xy datasets have been specified and a plot is obtained, the attributes of the plot, including the curve and its axes and legend, can be changed.2.2.1 Curve AttributesTo change the attributes of a curve:1. Select the curve from the Curves group box.2. Click the Edit button.The Curve Attributes dialog box is displayed (see Figure 2).Figure 2. Curve Attributes dialog box.This dialog box has four tabs:On the General tab, the name and the legend of the plot can be changed. By default, if the input data is a TDR format file, Inspect uses a combination of the physical quantity name(TotalCurrent) and the data group name (drain) of the y-axis to generate the name and the legend of the plot. On this tab, you can also change the mapping of the selected datasetbetween the two y-axes.On the Line tab, the attributes of the line used to plot the curve can be changed, including its color, width, and style.The Marker tab includes options to change the attributes of the marker, which is used to label the data points. These options include the shape and size of the marker, its outline color and width, and its fill color.The Interpolation tab is used to select the interpolation scheme, which is needed tocompute the data values of the curve outside the data points. Three options are available: lin, log, and auto.2.2.2 Plot AreaTo change the attributes associated with the plot area:Edit > Plot Area.The Plot Area dialog box is displayed (see Figure 3).Figure 3. Plot Area dialog box.This dialog box has four tabs:On the Title tab, the title of the plot and its font and size can be changed. The placement of the title can be made by justifying it either to the center, left, or right.The Legend tab is used to adjust the placement of the legend, including its font and size, its background and foreground colors, its frame styles and positioning, as well as whether todisplay the legend at all.The General tab allows you to work on the frame of the plot, including its color and showing style.The Grid tab controls the display of the grid inside the plot area, including its width, color,style, and alignment.2.2.3 Axes AttributesTo change the axes of the plot:Edit > Axes.The Axes dialog box is displayed (see Figure 4).Figure 4. Axes dialog box.Each of the three axes can be selected and changed independently:On the Patterns subtab, you can change the size and color of the selected axis, as well as select to show the axis.On the Scale subtab, you can switch between linear and logarithmic scales, and can set the maximum and minimum limits for the axis.The Title subtab controls the display of the title of the axis, including its font, size, and color.The Ticks subtab controls the placement of ticks along the axis, including their size, type, and their subdivision and placing angles.2.2.4 LabelsTo add labels to the plot:Edit > Labels > Add.The Labels dialog box is displayed (see Figure 5).Figure 5. Labels dialog box.Any valid text can be used to name the label. In addition, you can specify the font and color of the label.The added label initially resides in a place close to the middle of the plot. To move it to a different location, with the pointer on the label, click the middle mouse button and drag the label to a new location.To edit a label:1. Edit > Labels > Edit.2. Click the label.The Labels dialog box is displayed.To remove a label:1. Edit > Labels Remove.2. Click the label to be deleted.2.3 Miscellaneous FeaturesIn addition to curve-plotting functions, Inspect supports other user-friendly functions that are designed to facilitate easy viewing and inspection of data. Most curve-related functions are located under the Curve menu; view-related functions are accessible from the toolbar.2.3.1 Curve-related FeaturesThe Curve Data command displays a spreadsheet of the dataset corresponding to theselected curve. Data points can be selected and deleted from the dataset. This operation,however, only affects internal data. It does not remove any points from the input data file.Figure 6. Inspect showing Curve Data dialog box. (Click image for full-size view.)The Restore Data command performs the opposite. It restores all the data points that have been previously removed from the dataset.The Intersect X ? command calculates the value of the intersection of the selected curve with the x-axis if it exists.The Inspector command opens the Inspector dialog box (see Figure 7), which allows you to mark two points on the curve (using a drag-and-drop operation) and then to compute the coordinates of the two points and their differences. A detailed description of these commandscan be found in the Inspect User Guide.Figure 7. Inspect main window showing Inspector dialog box. (Click image for full-sizeview.)2.3.2 View-related FeaturesOn the toolbar, several buttons can be used to enhance the view of the selected curve. The set of zoom buttons have standard functions and the order buttons can change the order of the plots and, therefore, their visibility.Section 2 of 4 | back to top | << previous section | next section >>Copyright © 2010 Synopsys, Inc. All rights reserved.Inspect3. Math and Scripts3.1 Mathematical Formulas3.2 Macros3.3 ScriptsObjectivesTo learn to use mathematical formulas, macros, and scripts in Inspect.3.1 Mathematical FormulasIn Inspect, new curves can be created based on existing curves using mathematical functions that Inspect supports:In the Curves group box, click the New button.The Create Curve dialog box is displayed (see Figure 1).Figure 1. Create Curve dialog box. (Click image for full-size view.)This dialog box has several areas. The right pane lists available formula commands (mathematical functions) along with instructions on the syntax for using these functions. Some functions are ordinary mathematical functions, while others are specifically defined for handling curve data. For a complete list of these functions and their uses, refer to the Inspect User Guide.The following examples demonstrate the uses of these functions.3.1.1 Example 1In this example, you will find the maximum and minimum values of the TotalCurrent_drain curve plotted in the previous section.Two functions from the Available Formula Command list, vecmax and vecmin, are designed to search for the maximum and minimum points of a curve.To find the maximum point:1. Enter vecmax(<TotalCurrent_drain>) in the Formula field.Note that both brackets are required for syntax correctness.2. Click the Apply button.A dialog box is displayed that shows the maximum value of the selected curve (see Figure 2). Theminimum value of the curve can be found in a similar manner using the function vecmin.Figure 2. Result dialog box. (Click image for full-size view.)3.1.2 Example 2In this example, you will calculate the derivative of the curve TotalCurrent_drain.The diff function in the Inspect formula library is especially designed for this purpose.To find the slope of the TotalCurrent_drain curve:1. Enter diff(<TotalCurrent_drain>) in the Formula field.2. Change the default name for the new curve to Diff_TotalCurrent_drain in the Name field.3. Change the Map Curve To option to Right Y-Axis.4. Click Apply.A new curve is created and added to the Curves list. It is displayed in the plot area (see Figure 3).Figure 3. New curve Diff_TotalCurrent_drain displayed in the plot area. (Click image for full-size view.)The difference between the diff function and the vecmax function is clear. Although both functions take a curve type of TotalCurrent_drain as their input, the vecmax function generates a number (a scalar) but the diff function creates another curve.All the functions in the Inspect formula library behave the same way as these two functions. Most functions take a curve or more as input, and generate either a scalar quantity or a curve.Inspect treats the two types of output differently, namely, it displays the scalar result in adialog box, but it plots the curve result in the plot area. The newly created curve can betreated like any other curve for further processing, but the calculated scalar result isdiscarded after it has been displayed.3.1.3 Example 3In this example, you will find the threshold voltage Vt of the previous TotalCurrent_drain curve using the definition of Vt as the intercept of the maximum slope line of the TotalCurrent_drain curve with the x-axis.The problem can be solved in three steps. First, find the slope of the curve, that is, its derivative. Second, locate the maximum point of the slope curve. Third, extend the tangent line with the maximum slope to the x-axis to identify the intercept.To understand these steps, look at the following command:vecvalx(tangent(<c 1>, veczero(diff(<c 1>)-vecmax(diff(<c 1>)))),0.0)where c 1 represents a curve. This command works in this way:The diff function takes the derivative of the curve.The vecmax function finds the maximum of the derivative curve.The veczero function returns the x value of a curve at the point where the curve crosses the x-axis.As a result, the inner command veczero(diff(<c 1>)-vecmax(diff(<c 1>))) returns the xvalue of the point on the TotalCurrent_drain curve with the maximum slope.The tangent function returns a curve representing the tangent line of the curve <c 1> at the maximum slope point.The function vecvalx calculates the intercept point of the tangent line with the x-axis.To find the Vt of the TotalCurrent_drain curve, replace the c 1 curve with the TotalCurrent_drain curve, enter the command into the Formula field, and click Apply. The result is shown in Figure 4.Figure 4. Threshold voltage value of the TotalCurrent_drain curve, using the definition of Vtas the intercept of the maximum slope line of the TotalCurrent_drain curve. (Click image forfull-size view.)3.2 MacrosMacros are predefined commands that can be later recalled. For example, in Inspect, there is a predefined macro, VT, which performs exactly the same threshold extraction as Example 3.To repeat the task using the VT macro, enter VT(<TotalCurrent_drain>) in the Formula field, and click Apply. Note that this gives exactly the same result but in a much simpler way (see Figure 5).Figure 5. Threshold voltage value of the TotalCurrent_drain curve using the macro VT.(Click image for full-size view.)In Figure 5, the predefined macros are shown in the Macros list (ADD, VT, ...), which can be used in the formula like ordinary mathematical functions listed in the right pane.To define your own macros:1. Close the Create Curve dialog box.2. Edit > Define Macros.The Macro Editor is displayed (see Figure 6).Figure 6. Macro Editor. (Click image for full-size view.)To define a new macro, enter a name for the macro in the Name field. Then, enter the mathematical formula represented by the macro in the Macro field.Macros can take one or more arguments, each of them is either a curve type or a scalar type depending on the role they play in the formula. The syntax for argument placeholder specification isc n for curves and s n for scalars, where n is an integer used to distinguish between different arguments; n must start with 1 and then increase consecutively.These argument placeholders are later replaced with real curves or scalars when the macro is called. For example, if you define a macro DIFFMULT as:diff(<c 1>)+(<s 2>*<c 3>)The correct way to call the macro is the form:DIFFMULT(<CURVE>, <S>, <CURVE>)The order of the replacement curves and the scalar as they appear in the above macro-calling command must match the physical order of the arguments as they appear in themacro definition. On the other hand, the order of the integers n as they appear in the macro definition is irrelevant. For example, the following macro definition behaves identically to themacro DIFFMULT and, therefore, can be called using the same order of arguments as theabove command:diff(<c 3>)+(<s 2>*<c 1>)3.3 ScriptsIn addition to the graphical user interface (GUI), Inspect can be controlled by using a simple script language. For example, a script can load a project (data file), draw curves, and perform mathematical computations on curves. A script can be written manually or created automatically by recording actions performed interactively through the GUI.The Script menu of Inspect provides commands that can load and run a script file, write to a script file the actions that are performed using the GUI, continue the execution of a stopped script file, and abort a running script file (see Figure 7).Figure 7. Inspect main window highlighting Script menu. (Click image for full-size view.)Inspect uses the tool command language (Tcl) for its script language. For a detailed explanation of this language, visit or refer to the Tcl module.In Inspect, some commands have been added in the form of Tcl procedures to perform application-specific actions. You can create and add your own commands to the language. Most of these added commands in Inspect return a status string. A return status not equal to 1 indicates an error.If an error occurs, Inspect prints an error message to the standard error output and aborts the execution of the script. The Inspect User Guide gives detailed descriptions of all these application-specific commands, with most of them being specifically designed for handling and processing data files and their plots.3.3.1 ExampleIn this example, a simple script file is shown that loads a data file and generates an xy plot using the specified preferences. The description of each command is added in the script as a comment. This file is a command file taken from the Inspect tool embedded within a Sentaurus Workbench project. The data file loaded by this script file, n1_des.plt, is the one that has been used in the previous sections.# Inspect script.proj_load n1_des.plt n1_des# The proj_load command loads a data file# and creates a new project named after the base name of# the data file.cv_createDS NO_NAME {n1_des gate OuterVoltage} {n1_des drain eCurrent} y# The cv_createDS command creates a curve# with the given name using the specified dataset and# displays the curve in the plot area.cv_setCurveAttr eCurrent_drain eCurrent_drain red solid 2 cross 7 \defcolor 1 defcolor# The cv_setCurveAttr command sets the attributes of the selected# curve using specified curve name, curve legend, curve color,# curve style, curve width, marker shape, marker size, marker colors.gr_setAxisAttr X {Gate Voltage (V)} 14 {} {} black 1 12 0 5 0gr_setAxisAttr Y {Drain Current (A/um)} 14 {} {} black 1 12 0 5 0gr_setAxisAttr Y2 {} 12 {} {} black 1 12 0 5 0# The gr_setAxisAttr command sets the attributes of the selected# axis using specified axis title, title font, minimum and maximum# of the axis, the color and width of the axis, the font, angle,# and division of the ticks on the axis, and finally the scale# (linear or log) of the axis.To execute the script, copy the script to a file under the current Inspect working directory or right-click here to download the script using Save Target As. Then, Script > Run Script to initialize the file input dialog box. Select the script file saved and run it.The result is shown in Figure 8.Figure 8.

Extracting Standard Parameters4.1 Overview4.2 CMOS Parameters4.3 BJT Parameters4.4 General ParametersObjectivesTo extract a range of device parameters using Inspect.4.1 OverviewParameter extractions are an integral part of device simulation. In this section, scripts for extracting standard electrical parameters based on the result of CMOS and BJT simulations are presented. These scripts can be loaded directly into Inspect and, with appropriate input data, Inspect calculates and reports the results about the required parameters.All the scripts presented here can be downloaded by following the appropriate link at the end of each subsection.To run the script from the command line, use:> inspect -f inspectScript.cmdwhere inspectScript.cmd is the name of the script file.This command opens the Inspect GUI while executing the script. The results from the extraction are sent to the standard output terminal, usually the command window in which the inspect command was invoked.To suppress the display of the Inspect GUI, run the script in batch mode as:> inspect -batch -f inspectScript.cmdThe script can also be loaded into and run from an existing Inspect GUI: Script > Run Script.For easier reading of the script, lines are color coded:Black: Comment.Blue: Standard Inspect code related to loading and plotting the curve.Red: Inspect code specific to the extraction.Green: Lines that may need to be changed before using this script in conjunction with adifferent data file (for example, to update the data file name).4.2 CMOS ParametersThis section discusses how to extract different CMOS parameters.4.2.1 Maximum gm Threshold Voltage: Vtgm# Definition: Threshold voltage defined as the intersection of# the tangent at the maximum conductance (gm) point with the# gate voltage (Vg) axis.# Required input: IdVg curve, simulated with Vd<0 and Vg=0-Vdd.# Output: Vtgm and the IdVg curve if the Inspect GUI is running.# Note: The input file for this script is IdVg_lin_des.plt.

以往的攻略，作者都是以自己安装的路径作为示范，但是对于linux小白来说，看起来非常不容易理解。

这里结合我自己的经验，会用一种更直观的方式来帮助大家解决这个问题。

PS：回到作者我的视野，向三位前辈致敬1、虚拟机安装我用的是VM 8.0，64位系统，装的时候大家注意，可能会提示你的电脑不支持64位；这个时候需要进bios里面修改参数，此处不做过多介绍2、安装准备如果你安装的是64位系统，你需要以下几样东西1）安装scl的三件套2）安装sentaurus2010主体文件的三件套3）安装工具installer2.34）用于破解的EFALicGen0.4b、Synopsys SSS Feature Keygen5) 东西都能在网上找到。

如果你安装的是32位，好像就不要这个amd64了，没去装32位的。

把主体文件三件套放入同一文件夹a中，作为安装sentaurus时的源文件。

sentaurus commonsentaurus amd64sentaurus linux把SCL三件套文件放入同一文件夹b中，作为安装scl时的源文件。

scl10.9.3-linuxscl10.9.3-amd64scl10.9.3-common当然，你放在一起也没什么，只要你记得路径就行了注意，2010的安装和2008还是有些区别，一开始我一直参照2008的教程，结果怎么都不对，这里最好不要先在window下解压，先把文件放入到虚拟机系统内部，放文件的位置据说有讲究，要放到同一个目录下；不过我后面重装的时候没放到一起也没什么问题。

3、开始安装安装均在普通用户权限下进行1）、运行synopsys安装器$ cd /…(你放置安装文件的路径) /Installer2.3$ ./setup.sh当然很多需要用软件的人对linux操作指令都是空白的，我就是其中之一。
