Digital integrated circuit design for system-on-glass

Abstract

In this paper, we have developed a design environment for a stripe-shaped PMELA process and have designed digital circuits such as a serial-to-parallel converter and a PRBS generator as examples of digital VLSI circuits. The designed circuits and standard cells are fabricated in bulk CMOS process and are verified their operations. The whole circuits are fabricated in PMELA 0.5 mum CMOS technology with 1-poly-Si 1-Metal layers on glass. The measurement results show that digital circuits using PMELA TFTs are successfully integrated on glass by using this design environment.
