Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor integrated circuit device including a nanosheet (nanowire) FET (Field Effect Transistor). [Background technology]
[0002] The standard cell method is known as a method for forming semiconductor integrated circuits on a semiconductor substrate. The standard cell method is a method for designing an LSI chip by preparing basic units with specific logical functions (e.g. inverters, latches, flip-flops, full adders, etc.) as standard cells in advance, arranging multiple standard cells on a semiconductor substrate, and connecting these standard cells with wiring.
[0003] Furthermore, transistors, which are the basic building blocks of LSIs, have achieved increased integration density, reduced operating voltages, and increased operating speeds through the reduction of gate lengths (scaling). In recent years, however, excessive scaling has caused problems with off-current and the resulting dramatic increase in power consumption. To solve this problem, there has been active research into three-dimensional transistors, which change the transistor structure from the conventional planar type to a three-dimensional one. One such transistor that has attracted attention is the nanosheet (nanowire) FET.

[0006] In this specification, a nanosheet FET having a fork-shaped gate electrode is referred to as a fork sheet FET, following the description in Non-Patent Document 1.
[0007] In recent years, the miniaturization and high integration of semiconductor integrated circuits have progressed remarkably, and this has led to an accelerating trend toward lower operating voltages and faster operating frequencies. However, as the speed increases, noise increases, and as the voltage decreases, noise resistance decreases, so in recent semiconductor integrated circuits, there is a problem that circuits are prone to malfunction due to noise. One method of preventing circuit malfunction due to noise is to provide a decoupling capacitance between the power supplies of the circuit. A cell in which such a decoupling capacitance is formed is called a capacitance cell.
[0008] However, to date, no studies have been conducted on a capacitance cell using a fork-sheet FET.
[0009] The present disclosure aims to provide a layout structure of a capacitance cell using a fork-sheet FET. [Means for solving the problem]
[0010] In a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit device including a standard cell which is a capacitive cell, wherein the standard cell has a P-type region in which a P-type transistor is formed and an N-type region in which an N-type transistor is formed, which are formed adjacent to each other in a first direction, a first nanosheet portion extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in the P-type region and consisting of one or two or more nanosheets aligned in the first direction, a second nanosheet portion extending in the second direction in the N-type region and consisting of one or two or more nanosheets aligned in the first direction, a first gate wiring extending in the first direction and formed so as to surround an outer periphery of a nanosheet of the first nanosheet portion in the first direction and in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions, a first pad pair connected to both ends in the second direction of a nanosheet of the first nanosheet portion, and a second gate wiring extending in the first direction and consisting of one or more nanosheets aligned in the first direction. the first nanosheet portion has a surface facing the second nanosheet portion in the first direction, the second gate wiring formed so as to surround the outer periphery of the nanosheet in the first direction and the third direction, and a second pair of pads respectively connected to both ends in the second direction of the nanosheet in the second nanosheet portion, the first pair of pads and the second gate wiring being supplied with a first power supply voltage, the second pair of pads and the first gate wiring being supplied with a second power supply voltage lower than the first power supply voltage, the first nanosheet portion and the second nanosheet portion being opposed to each other in the first direction, the nanosheet of the first nanosheet portion having a surface closest to the second nanosheet portion facing the second nanosheet portion in the first direction is exposed from the first gate wiring, and the nanosheet of the second nanosheet portion having a surface closest to the first nanosheet portion facing the first nanosheet portion in the first direction is exposed from the second gate wiring.
[0011] According to this embodiment, since the first power supply voltage is applied to the first pad pair and the second gate wiring, and the second power supply voltage is applied to the second pad pair and the first gate wiring, capacitance is generated between the first nanosheet portion and the first gate wiring, and between the second nanosheet portion and the second gate wiring. In addition, capacitance is also generated between the first gate wiring and the second gate wiring, and between the first pad pair and the second pad pair. The nanosheet closest to the second nanosheet portion among the nanosheets of the first nanosheet portion has a surface on the second nanosheet portion side exposed from the first gate wiring, and the nanosheet closest to the first nanosheet portion among the nanosheets of the second nanosheet portion has a surface on the first nanosheet side exposed from the second gate wiring. This makes it possible to narrow the gap between the first nanosheet portion and the second nanosheet portion, thereby making it possible to further reduce the area of the capacitance cell. In addition, a larger capacitance can be realized between the first gate wiring and the second gate wiring, and between the first pad pair and the second pad pair.
[0012] In a second aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit device including a standard cell which is a capacitive cell, the standard cell including a first region in which a first conductive type transistor is formed and a second region in which a second conductive type transistor is formed, which are formed adjacent to each other in a first direction, a first nanosheet portion extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in the first region and consisting of one or two or more nanosheets aligned in the first direction, a second nanosheet portion extending in the second direction in the second region and consisting of one or two or more nanosheets aligned in the first direction, a first gate wiring extending in the first direction and formed so as to surround an outer periphery of the nanosheet of the first nanosheet portion in the first direction and in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions, a first pad pair connected to both ends in the second direction of the nanosheet of the first nanosheet portion, the first and second gate wirings are applied with a first power supply voltage, and the first and second pad pairs are applied with a second power supply voltage different from the first power supply voltage, the first nanosheet portion and the second nanosheet portion face each other in the first direction, and of the nanosheets of the first nanosheet portion, the nanosheet closest to the second nanosheet portion has a surface facing the second nanosheet portion in the first direction exposed from the first gate wiring, and of the nanosheets of the second nanosheet portion, the nanosheet closest to the first nanosheet portion has a surface facing the first nanosheet portion in the first direction exposed from the second gate wiring.
[0013] According to this embodiment, a first power supply voltage is applied to the first and second gate wirings, and a second power supply voltage is applied to the first and second pad pair, so that capacitance is generated between the first nanosheet portion and the first gate wiring, or between the second nanosheet portion and the second gate wiring. The nanosheet closest to the second nanosheet portion among the nanosheets in the first nanosheet portion has a surface on the second nanosheet portion side exposed from the first gate wiring, and the nanosheet closest to the first nanosheet portion among the nanosheets in the second nanosheet portion has a surface on the first nanosheet portion side exposed from the second gate wiring. This makes it possible to narrow the gap between the first nanosheet portion and the second nanosheet portion, thereby making it possible to further reduce the area of the capacitance cell.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0016] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, a semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a plurality of standard cells (in this specification, simply referred to as cells as appropriate), and at least some of the plurality of standard cells include nanosheet FETs (field effect transistors). A nanosheet FET is a FET that uses a thin sheet (nanosheet) through which a current flows. The nanosheet is formed of, for example, silicon. In the semiconductor integrated circuit device, some of the nanosheet FETs are fork sheet FETs with a fork-shaped gate electrode.
[0017] In addition, in the present disclosure, the semiconductor layer portions formed on both ends of the nanosheet and constituting the terminals that serve as the source or drain of the nanosheet FET are referred to as "pads".
[0018] First, the basic structure of the fork seat FET will be described.
[0019] 13 shows the basic structure of a fork-sheet FET, where (a) is a plan view and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line Y-Y' in (a). In the basic structure of FIG. 13, two transistors TR1 and TR2 are arranged side by side with a gap S therebetween in the Y direction. A gate wiring 531 serving as the gate of transistor TR1 and a gate wiring 532 serving as the gate of transistor TR2 both extend in the Y direction and are arranged at the same position in the X direction.
[0020] A channel portion 521 that becomes the channel region of the transistor TR1 and a channel portion 526 that becomes the channel region of the transistor TR2 are composed of nanosheets. In FIG. 13, the channel portions 521 and 526 are each composed of a nanosheet having a three-sheet structure that overlaps in a plan view. Pads 522a and 522b that become the source region or drain region of the transistor TR1 are formed on both sides of the channel portion 521 in the X direction. Pads 527a and 527b that become the source region or drain region of the transistor TR2 are formed on both sides of the channel portion 526 in the X direction. The pads 522a and 522b are formed by epitaxial growth from the nanosheet that constitutes the channel portion 521. The pads 527a and 527b are formed by epitaxial growth from the nanosheet that constitutes the channel portion 526.
[0021] The gate wiring 531 surrounds the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the channel section 521 made of the nanosheet via a gate insulating film (not shown). However, the surface of the nanosheet constituting the channel section 521 on the side of the transistor TR2 in the Y direction is not covered by the gate wiring 531 and is exposed from the gate wiring 531. That is, in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 13(b), the gate wiring 531 does not cover the right side of the nanosheet constituting the channel section 521 in the drawing, but covers the upper side, left side, and lower side in the drawing. The gate wiring 531 overlaps the nanosheet constituting the channel section 521 on the opposite side of the transistor TR2 in the Y direction by a length OL.
[0022] The gate wiring 532 surrounds the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the channel section 526 made of the nanosheet via a gate insulating film (not shown). However, the surface of the nanosheet constituting the channel section 526 on the side of the transistor TR1 in the Y direction is not covered by the gate wiring 532 and is exposed from the gate wiring 532. That is, in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 13(b), the gate wiring 532 does not cover the left side of the nanosheet constituting the channel section 526 in the drawing, but covers the upper side, right side, and lower side in the drawing. The gate wiring 532 overlaps the nanosheet constituting the channel section 526 on the opposite side of the transistor TR1 in the Y direction by a length OL.
[0023] If the width (size in the Y direction) of each nanosheet is W and its height (size in the Z direction) is H, then the effective gate width Weff is Weff=2×W+H Since the channel portions 521 and 526 of the transistors TR1 and TR2 are formed of three nanosheets, the effective gate widths of the transistors TR1 and TR2 are 3×(2×W+H) It becomes.
[0024] 13, the gate wiring 531 does not overlap the nanosheet constituting the channel portion 521 on the side of the transistor TR2 in the Y direction. Also, the gate wiring 532 does not overlap the nanosheet constituting the channel portion 526 on the side of the transistor TR1 in the Y direction. This allows the transistors TR1 and TR2 to be closer to each other, thereby realizing a smaller area.
[0025] The number of nanosheets constituting the channel portion of the transistor is not limited to three. That is, the nanosheet may be composed of a single sheet structure, or may be composed of a plurality of sheets overlapping in a plan view. In addition, in FIG. 13(b), the cross-sectional shape of the nanosheet is illustrated as a rectangle, but is not limited thereto, and the cross-sectional shape of the nanosheet may be, for example, a square, a circle, an ellipse, or the like.
[0026] Furthermore, a semiconductor integrated circuit device may contain a mixture of fork-sheet FETs and nanosheet FETs in which the gate wiring surrounds the entire periphery of the nanosheet.
[0027] In this specification, "VDD" and "VSS" refer to the power supply voltage or the power supply itself. In addition, in this specification, expressions such as "same wiring width" that mean the width is the same, include the range of manufacturing variations.
[0028] (First embodiment) 1 to 3 are diagrams showing an example of a layout structure of a capacitance cell according to the first embodiment, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view, Figs. 2(a) and (b) are cross-sectional views in the horizontal direction in a plan view, and Figs. 3(a) to (c) are cross-sectional views in the vertical direction in a plan view. Fig. 2(a) is a cross-section along line X1-X1', and Fig. 2(b) is a cross-section along line X2-X2'. Fig. 3(a) is a cross-section along line Y1-Y1', Fig. 3(b) is a cross-section along line Y2-Y2', and Fig. 3(c) is a cross-section along line Y3-Y3'.
[0029] In the following description, in plan views such as FIG. 1, the horizontal direction on the drawing is the X direction (corresponding to the second direction), the vertical direction on the drawing is the Y direction (corresponding to the first direction), and the direction perpendicular to the substrate surface is the Z direction (corresponding to the third direction).
[0030] FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of the capacitance cell shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in FIG. 4, the capacitance cell shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has P-type transistors P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 and N-type transistors N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5. The transistors P2 to P4 and the transistors N2 to N4 function as capacitance. The transistors P1 and N5 constitute a fixed value output section 5. The fixed value output section 5 outputs a low fixed value (VSS) to the node X1 and outputs a high fixed value (VDD) to the node X2. The transistor P1 has a source connected to VDD, a drain connected to the gate of the transistor N5, and a gate connected to the drain of the transistor N5. The transistor N5 has a source connected to VSS, and a drain connected to the gate of the transistor P1. The gate of the transistor P1 corresponds to the node X1, and the gate of the transistor N5 corresponds to the node X2.
[0031] The transistors P5 and N1 are in an off state. The circuit configuration of the capacitance cell does not necessarily require the transistors P5 and N1, but the inclusion of the transistors P5 and N1 improves the regularity of the layout of the capacitance cell, which in turn improves the ease of manufacturing the device, improves the yield, and suppresses manufacturing variations.
[0032] The transistors P2 to P4 have their sources and drains connected to VDD and their gates connected to a node X1. Since VSS is output to the node X1 from the fixed value output unit 5, the transistors P2 to P4 function as capacitances. The transistors N2 to N4 have their sources and drains connected to VSS and their gates connected to a node X2. Since VDD is output to the node X2 from the fixed value output unit 5, the transistors N2 to N4 function as capacitances.
[0033] The capacitance cells in Figures 1 to 3 are arranged together with other standard cells in the X direction with their cell frames CL in contact to form a cell row. In addition, multiple cell rows are arranged in the Y direction with their cell frames CL in contact. However, every other cell row is upside down.
[0034] As shown in Fig. 1, power supply wiring 11, 12 extending in the X direction are provided at both ends of the capacitance cell in the Y direction. Both power supply wiring 11, 12 are buried power supply wiring (BPR: Buried Power Rail) formed in a buried wiring layer. The power supply wiring 11 supplies a power supply voltage VDD, and the power supply wiring 12 supplies a power supply voltage VSS. The power supply wiring 11, 12 are shared with other cells in a cell string including the capacitance cell, and serve as power supply wiring extending in the X direction. The power supply wiring 11, 12 also constitute power supply wiring arranged between cell strings adjacent in the Y direction.
[0035] P-type transistors P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 are formed in a P-type region on an N-well. N-type transistors N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5 are formed in an N-type region on a P-type substrate. The P-type and N-type regions are formed adjacent to each other in the Y direction. In the X direction, the arrangement positions of the transistors P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 are the same as the arrangement positions of the transistors N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5, respectively. That is, the transistors P1 and N1 are arranged in a row in the Y direction. The transistors P2 and N2 are arranged in a row in the Y direction. The transistors P3 and N3 are arranged in a row in the Y direction. The transistors P4 and N4 are arranged in a row in the Y direction. The transistors P5 and N5 are arranged in a row in the Y direction.
[0036] The transistors P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 each have a nanosheet 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, and 21e, which are formed of three overlapping sheets in a plan view, as a channel portion. That is, the transistors P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 are nanosheet FETs.
[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, pads 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d, 22e, and 22f made of an integrally structured semiconductor layer connected to the three sheet structures are formed on the left side of the nanosheet 21a, between the nanosheets 21a and 21b, between the nanosheets 21b and 21c, between the nanosheets 21c and 21d, between the nanosheets 21d and 21e, and on the right side of the nanosheet 21e. The pads 22a and 22b are the source and drain regions of the transistor P1. The pads 22b and 22c are the source and drain regions of the transistor P2. The pads 22c and 22d are the source and drain regions of the transistor P3. The pads 22d and 22e are the source and drain regions of the transistor P4. The pads 22e and 22f are the source and drain regions of the transistor P5.
[0038] The transistors N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5 each have a nanosheet 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, and 26e, which are formed of three overlapping sheets in a plan view, as a channel portion. That is, the transistors N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5 are nanosheet FETs.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 1, pads 27a, 27b, 27c, 27d, 27e, and 27f made of an integrally structured semiconductor layer connected to the three sheet structures are formed on the left side of the nanosheet 26a, between the nanosheets 26a and 26b, between the nanosheets 26b and 26c, between the nanosheets 26c and 26d, between the nanosheets 26d and 26e, and on the right side of the nanosheet 26e. The pads 27a and 27b are the source and drain regions of the transistor N1. The pads 27b and 27c are the source and drain regions of the transistor N2. The pads 27c and 27d are the source and drain regions of the transistor N3. The pads 27d and 27e are the source and drain regions of the transistor N4. The pads 27e and 27f are the source and drain regions of the transistor N5.
[0040] Gate wirings 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, and 31e extending in parallel in the Y direction are formed in the P-type region. The gate wirings 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, and 31e are formed with the same width and arranged at the same pitch. Gate wirings 36a, 36b, 36c, 36d, and 36e extending in parallel in the Y direction are formed in the N-type region. The gate wirings 36a, 36b, 36c, 36d, and 36e are formed with the same width and arranged at the same pitch. In the X direction, the arrangement positions of the gate wirings 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, and 31e are the same as the arrangement positions of the gate wirings 36a, 36b, 36c, 36d, and 36e, respectively. That is, the gate wirings 31a and 36a are arranged in a row in the Y direction. The gate wirings 31b and 36b are arranged in a row in the Y direction. The gate wirings 31c, 36c are aligned in a row in the Y direction. The gate wirings 31d, 36d are aligned in a row in the Y direction. The gate wirings 31e, 36e are aligned in a row in the Y direction. Dummy gate wirings 38a, 38b are formed on the cell frame CL on both sides in the X direction.
[0041] The gate wiring 31a surrounds the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the nanosheet 21a of the transistor P1 via a gate insulating film (not shown). The gate wiring 31a becomes the gate of the transistor P1. Similarly, the gate wirings 31b, 31c, 31d, and 31e surround the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the nanosheets 21b, 21c, 21d, and 21e of the transistors P2, P3, P4, and P5, respectively, via a gate insulating film (not shown). The gate wirings 31b, 31c, 31d, and 31e become the gates of the transistors P2, P3, P4, and P5, respectively.
[0042] The gate wiring 36a surrounds the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the nanosheet 26a of the transistor N1 via a gate insulating film (not shown). The gate wiring 36a becomes the gate of the transistor N1. Similarly, the gate wirings 36b, 36c, 36d, and 36e surround the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the nanosheets 26b, 26c, 26d, and 26e of the transistors N2, N3, N4, and N5, respectively, via a gate insulating film (not shown). The gate wirings 36b, 36c, 36d, and 36e become the gates of the transistors N2, N3, N4, and N5, respectively.
[0043] The gate wirings 31a and 36a arranged in the Y direction are connected to each other via a bridge portion 33a formed between the gate wirings 31a and 36a. The gate wirings 31e and 36e arranged in the Y direction are connected to each other via a bridge portion 33b formed between the gate wirings 31e and 36e.
[0044] In the local wiring layer, local wirings 41, 42, 43a, 43b, 43c, 43d, 44a, 44b, 44c, and 44d extending in the Y direction are formed. The local wiring 41 is connected to the pads 22a and 27a. The local wiring 42 is connected to the pads 22f and 27f. The local wirings 43a, 43b, 43c, and 43d are connected to the pads 22b, 22c, 22d, and 22e, respectively, and are connected to the power supply wiring 11 through vias. The local wirings 44a, 44b, 44c, and 44d are connected to the pads 27b, 27c, 27d, and 27e, respectively, and are connected to the power supply wiring 12 through vias.
[0045] In the M1 wiring layer, metal wirings 51, 52, 53, and 54 extending in the X direction are formed. The metal wirings 52 and 54 correspond to node X1 of the circuit, and the metal wirings 51 and 53 correspond to node X2 of the circuit. The metal wiring 51 is connected to the gate wiring 31e through a via and is also connected to the local wiring 41 through a via. The metal wiring 52 is connected to the gate wirings 31a, 31b, 31c, and 31d through vias, and is also connected to the local wiring 42 through a via. The metal wiring 53 is connected to the gate wirings 36b, 36c, 36d, and 36e through vias, and is also connected to the local wiring 41 through a via. The metal wiring 54 is connected to the gate wiring 36a, and is also connected to the local wiring 42 through a via. The metal wirings 51, 52, 53, and 54 form inter-wiring capacitances.
[0046] Here, nanosheet 21a and nanosheet 26a face each other in the Y direction. The surface of nanosheet 21a facing nanosheet 26a in the Y direction is not covered by gate wiring 31a and is exposed from gate wiring 31a. The surface of nanosheet 26a facing nanosheet 21a in the Y direction is not covered by gate wiring 36a and is exposed from gate wiring 36a.
[0047] Similarly, nanosheets 21b and nanosheets 26b face each other in the Y direction, nanosheets 21c and nanosheets 26c face each other in the Y direction, nanosheets 21d and nanosheets 26d face each other in the Y direction, and nanosheets 21e and nanosheets 26e face each other in the Y direction. Furthermore, the surfaces of nanosheets 21b, 21c, 21d, and 21e facing nanosheets 26b, 26c, 26d, and 26e in the Y direction are not covered by gate wirings 31b, 31c, 31d, and 31e, respectively, and are exposed from gate wirings 31b, 31c, 31d, and 31e. The surfaces of the nanosheets 26b, 26c, 26d, and 26e facing the nanosheets 21b, 21c, 21d, and 21e in the Y direction are not covered by the gate wirings 36b, 36c, 36d, and 36e, and are exposed from the gate wirings 36b, 36c, 36d, and 36e.
[0048] Here, we focus on the transistor P3 that functions as a capacitance. In the transistor P3, VSS is applied from the node X1 to the gate wiring 31c that serves as the gate, and VDD is applied to the pads 22c and 22d that serve as the source and drain via the local wirings 43b and 43c. This creates a capacitance across the gate oxide film of the transistor P3. In addition, capacitance is created in the following locations: 1) Between the pads 22c, 22d and the gate wiring 31c (see FIG. 2(a)) 2) Between the local wiring 43b, 43c and the gate wiring 31c (see FIG. 2(a)) 3) Between the gate wiring 31c and the gate wiring 36c of the transistor N3 (see FIG. 3(a)). The gate wiring 36c is supplied with VDD from the node X2. 4) Between the pads 22c, 22d and the pads 27c, 27d of the transistor N3 (see FIG. 3B). The pads 27c, 27d are supplied with VSS via the local wirings 44b, 44c. 5) Between the local wirings 43b, 43c and the local wirings 44b, 44c (see FIG. 3(b))
[0049] In this embodiment, the surface of the nanosheet 21c of the transistor P3 facing the nanosheet 26c of the transistor N3 is not covered with the gate wiring 31c, and the surface of the nanosheet 26c of the transistor N3 facing the nanosheet 21c of the transistor P3 is not covered with the gate wiring 36c. This reduces the distance between the transistors P3 and N3. This increases the capacitance of the above 3) and 4).
[0050] As described above, according to this embodiment, for the transistors P2, P3, and P4, capacitance occurs between the nanosheets 21b, 21c, and 21d and the gate wirings 31b, 31c, and 31d. For the transistors N2, N3, and N4, capacitance occurs between the nanosheets 26b, 26c, and 26d and the gate wirings 36b, 36c, and 36d. The surfaces of the nanosheets 21b, 21c, and 21d facing the nanosheets 26b, 26c, and 26d are exposed from the gate wirings 31b, 31c, and 31d, and the surfaces of the nanosheets 26b, 26c, and 26d facing the nanosheets 21b, 21c, and 21d are exposed from the gate wirings 36b, 36c, and 36d. This makes it possible to narrow the gap between the nanosheets 21b, 21c, and 21d and the nanosheets 26b, 26c, and 26d, thereby making it possible to further reduce the area of the capacitance cell. In addition, for example, in the transistors P3 and N3, a larger capacitance can be achieved between the gate wiring 31c and the gate wiring 36c, and between the pad pair 22c, 22d and the pad pair 27c, 27d.
[0051] In the above-described embodiment, the fixed value output unit may be omitted. In this case, for example, the capacitance cell may be configured to directly supply VSS to the gates of the transistors P2, P3, and P4, and directly supply VDD to the gates of the transistors N2, N3, and N4.
[0052] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the number of P-type transistors and the number of N-type transistors constituting the capacitance are three, but the number of transistors constituting the capacitance is not limited to this.
[0053] (Modification) In the above embodiment, the nanosheets are arranged in the Y direction one by one in each transistor, but two or more nanosheets may be arranged in the Y direction. In this case, it is sufficient that the opposing nanosheets are exposed from the gate wiring at the boundary between the P-type region and the N-type region. That is, when the nanosheet of the P-type transistor is the first nanosheet portion and the nanosheet of the N-type transistor is the second nanosheet portion, the surface of the nanosheet of the first nanosheet portion closest to the second nanosheet portion in the Y direction is exposed from the gate wiring, and the surface of the nanosheet of the second nanosheet portion closest to the first nanosheet portion in the Y direction is exposed from the gate wiring. This provides the same effects as the above embodiment.
[0054] 5(a) and (b) are cross-sectional views in the vertical direction in a plan view showing the configuration of this modified example. In the configuration of FIG. 5, the transistor P3 has two nanosheets 21c and 23c aligned in the Y direction, and the transistor N3 has two nanosheets 26c and 28c aligned in the Y direction. Pads 24d, 22d, 27d, and 29d are formed on one side in the X direction of the nanosheets 21c, 23c, 26c, and 28c, respectively.
[0055] The surface of the nanosheet 21c facing the nanosheet 26c in the Y direction is not covered by the gate wiring 31c and is exposed from the gate wiring 31c. The surface of the nanosheet 26c facing the nanosheet 21c in the Y direction is not covered by the gate wiring 36c and is exposed from the gate wiring 36c.
[0056] In other words, when nanosheets 21c and 23c are defined as first nanosheet portion 24 and nanosheets 26c and 28c are defined as second nanosheet portion 25, of the nanosheets in first nanosheet portion 24, nanosheet 21c which is closest to second nanosheet portion 25 has a surface facing second nanosheet portion 25 in the Y direction exposed from gate wiring 31c, and of the nanosheets in second nanosheet portion 25, nanosheet 26c which is closest to first nanosheet portion 24 has a surface facing first nanosheet portion 24 in the Y direction exposed from gate wiring 36c.
[0057] Second embodiment 6 and 7 are diagrams showing an example of the layout structure of a capacitance cell according to the second embodiment, where FIG. 6 is a plan view and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view in the vertical direction in plan view. FIG. 7(a) is a cross-section along line Y4-Y4', and FIG. 7(b) is a cross-section along line Y5-Y5'. The layout structures shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are similar to the layout structures shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, and for example, the arrangement of the power supply wiring, and the nanosheets and pads of the transistors are similar. In the following description, the description of the same configuration as the first embodiment may be omitted.
[0058] FIG. 8 is a circuit diagram of the capacitance cell shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 8, the cell shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 has P-type transistors P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 and N-type transistors N1, N2, N3, N4, N5. The transistors N2 to N4 function as capacitance. The transistors P5 and N1 constitute a fixed value output section 5. The fixed value output section 5 outputs a high fixed value (VDD) to the node X1 and outputs a low fixed value (VSS) to the node X2. The transistor P5 has a source connected to VDD, a drain connected to the gate of the transistor N1, and a gate connected to the drain of the transistor N1. The transistor N1 has a source connected to VSS, and a drain connected to the gate of the transistor P5. The gate of the transistor N1 corresponds to the node X1, and the gate of the transistor P5 corresponds to the node X2.
[0059] The transistors P1 to P4 and the transistor N5 are in an off state. Although the circuit configuration of the capacitance cell does not necessarily require the transistors P1 to P4 and the transistor N5, the inclusion of the transistors improves the regularity of the layout of the capacitance cell, which in turn improves the ease of manufacturing the device, improves the yield, and suppresses manufacturing variations.
[0060] The transistors N2 to N4 have their sources and drains connected to VSS and their gates connected to the node X1. Since VDD is output to the node X1 from the fixed value output section 5, the transistors N2 to N4 function as capacitances.
[0061] As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, gate wirings 131a, 131b, 131c, 131d, and 131e extending in parallel in the Y direction are formed in the P-type region. The gate wirings 131a, 131b, 131c, 131d, and 131e are formed with the same width and arranged at the same pitch. Gate wirings 136a, 136b, 136c, 136d, and 136e extending in parallel in the Y direction are formed in the N-type region. The gate wirings 136a, 136b, 136c, 136d, and 136e are formed with the same width and arranged at the same pitch. In the X direction, the arrangement positions of the gate wirings 131a, 131b, 131c, 131d, and 131e are the same as the arrangement positions of the gate wirings 136a, 136b, 136c, 136d, and 136e, respectively. That is, the gate wirings 131a and 136a are aligned in a row in the Y direction. The gate wirings 131b and 136b are aligned in a row in the Y direction. The gate wirings 131c and 136c are aligned in a row in the Y direction. The gate wirings 131d and 136d are aligned in a row in the Y direction. The gate wirings 131e and 136e are aligned in a row in the Y direction.
[0062] The gate wiring 131a surrounds the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the nanosheet 21a of the transistor P1 via a gate insulating film (not shown). The gate wiring 131a becomes the gate of the transistor P1. Similarly, the gate wirings 131b, 131c, 131d, and 131e surround the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the nanosheets 21b, 21c, 21d, and 21e of the transistors P2, P3, P4, and P5, respectively, via a gate insulating film (not shown). The gate wirings 131b, 131c, 131d, and 131e become the gates of the transistors P2, P3, P4, and P5, respectively.
[0063] The gate wiring 136a surrounds the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the nanosheet 26a of the transistor N1 via a gate insulating film (not shown). The gate wiring 136a becomes the gate of the transistor N1. Similarly, the gate wirings 136b, 136c, 136d, and 136e surround the outer periphery in the Y direction and Z direction of the nanosheets 26b, 26c, 26d, and 26e of the transistors N2, N3, N4, and N5, respectively, via a gate insulating film (not shown). The gate wirings 136b, 136c, 136d, and 136e become the gates of the transistors N2, N3, N4, and N5, respectively.
[0064] The gate wirings 131a and 136a arranged in the Y direction are connected to each other via a bridge portion 133a formed between the gate wirings 131a and 136a. The gate wirings 131b and 136b arranged in the Y direction are connected to each other via a bridge portion 133b formed between the gate wirings 131b and 136b. The gate wirings 131c and 136c arranged in the Y direction are connected to each other via a bridge portion 133c formed between the gate wirings 131c and 136c. The gate wirings 131d and 136d arranged in the Y direction are connected to each other via a bridge portion 133d formed between the gate wirings 131d and 136d. The gate wirings 131e and 136e arranged in the Y direction are connected to each other via a bridge portion 133e formed between the gate wirings 131e and 136e.
[0065] In the local wiring layer, local wirings 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, and 148 extending in the Y direction are formed. The local wiring 141 is connected to the pads 22a and 27a. The local wiring 142 is connected to the pads 22b and 27b, and is connected to the power supply wiring 12 through a via. The local wiring 143 is connected to the pads 22c and 27c, and is connected to the power supply wiring 12 through a via. The local wiring 144 is connected to the pads 22d and 27d, and is connected to the power supply wiring 12 through a via. The local wiring 145 is connected to the pad 22e. The local wiring 146 is connected to the pad 22f, and is connected to the power supply wiring 11 through a via. The local wiring 147 is connected to the pad 27e, and is connected to the power supply wiring 12. The local wiring 148 is connected to the pad 27f.
[0066] In the M1 wiring layer, metal wirings 151, 152, 153, and 154 extending in the X direction are formed. The metal wirings 152 and 154 correspond to node X1 of the circuit, and the metal wirings 151 and 153 correspond to node X2 of the circuit. The metal wiring 151 is connected to the gate wiring 131e through a via, and is also connected to the local wiring 141 through a via. The metal wiring 152 is connected to the gate wirings 131a, 131b, 131c, and 131d through vias, and is also connected to the local wiring 145 through a via. The metal wiring 153 is connected to the gate wiring 136e through a via, and is also connected to the local wiring 141 through a via. The metal wiring 154 is connected to the gate wirings 136a, 136b, 136c, and 136d through vias, and is also connected to the local wiring 148 through a via.
[0067] Here, similarly to the first embodiment, nanosheet 21a and nanosheet 26a face each other in the Y direction. The surface of nanosheet 21a facing nanosheet 26a in the Y direction is not covered by gate wiring 131a and is exposed from gate wiring 131a. The surface of nanosheet 26a facing nanosheet 21a in the Y direction is not covered by gate wiring 136a and is exposed from gate wiring 136a.
[0068] Similarly, nanosheets 21b and 26b face each other in the Y direction. Nanosheets 21c and 26c face each other in the Y direction. Nanosheets 21d and 26d face each other in the Y direction. Nanosheets 21e and 26e face each other in the Y direction. Furthermore, the surfaces of nanosheets 21b, 21c, 21d, and 21e facing nanosheets 26b, 26c, 26d, and 26e in the Y direction are not covered by gate wirings 131b, 131c, 131d, and 131e, respectively, and are exposed from gate wirings 131b, 131c, 131d, and 131e. The surfaces of the nanosheets 26b, 26c, 26d, and 26e facing the nanosheets 21b, 21c, 21d, and 21e in the Y direction are not covered by the gate wirings 136b, 136c, 136d, and 136e, and are exposed from the gate wirings 136b, 136c, 136d, and 136e.
[0069] Also, a gate wiring to which VDD is applied and a local wiring to which VSS is applied are formed from the P-type region to the N-type region, and a capacitance is formed between the gate wiring and the local wiring. For example, in the transistors P3 and N3, the gate wirings 131c and 136c are connected by a bridge portion 133c, and VDD is applied via a metal wiring 152. Also, the local wirings 143 and 144 are supplied with VSS from the power supply wiring 12. Therefore, a capacitance is formed between the gate wirings 131c and 136c and the bridge portion 133c and the local wirings 143 and 144.
[0070] As described above, according to the present embodiment, for the transistors N2, N3, and N4, capacitance occurs between the nanosheets 26b, 26c, and 26d and the gate wirings 136b, 136c, and 136d. The surfaces of the nanosheets 21b, 21c, and 21d on the nanosheets 26b, 26c, and 26d side are exposed from the gate wirings 131b, 131c, and 131d, and the surfaces of the nanosheets 26b, 26c, and 26d on the nanosheets 21b, 21c, and 21d side are exposed from the gate wirings 136b, 136c, and 136d. This makes it possible to narrow the gap between the nanosheets 21b, 21c, and 21d and the nanosheets 26b, 26c, and 26d, and therefore makes it possible to further reduce the area of the capacitance cell. In addition, for example, in the transistors P3 and N3, a large capacitance can be realized between the gate wirings 131c and 136c and between the bridge portion 133c and the local wirings 143 and 144.
[0071] In the above-described embodiment, the fixed value output unit may be omitted. In this case, for example, the capacitance cell may be configured to directly supply VDD to the gates of the transistors N2, N3, and N4.
[0072] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the number of N-type transistors constituting the capacitance is three, but the number of transistors constituting the capacitance is not limited to this.
[0073] Moreover, similarly to the modified example of the first embodiment, two or more nanosheets may be arranged in the Y direction in each transistor.
[0074] (Variation 1) The capacitance cells according to the above-described embodiments can also be configured by switching the conductivity types of the transistors.
[0075] Fig. 9 is a plan view showing a layout structure of a capacitance cell according to Modification 1 of the second embodiment. The layout structure shown in Fig. 9 corresponds to the layout structure of Fig. 6 flipped upside down, with P-type and N-type interchanged, and VDD and VSS interchanged. The layout structure of Fig. 9 has the same arrangement of power supply wiring, transistors, gate wiring, local wiring, and M1 wiring as the layout structure of Fig. 6. However, the layout structure of Fig. 6 is different in the connection relationship between the M1 wiring, the local wiring, and the gate wiring, and in the connection relationship between the local wiring and the power supply wiring.
[0076] Fig. 10 is a circuit diagram of the capacitance cell shown in Fig. 9. The circuit in Fig. 10 corresponds to the circuit in Fig. 8 which is inverted upside down, with the P-type and N-type interchanged, and with VDD and VSS interchanged.
[0077] As shown in FIG. 10, the cell shown in FIG. 9 has P-type transistors P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 and N-type transistors N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5. The transistors P2 to P4 function as capacitances. The transistors P1 and N5 constitute a fixed value output section 5. The fixed value output section 5 outputs a low fixed value (VSS) to a node X1 and outputs a high fixed value (VDD) to a node X2. The transistor P1 has a source connected to VDD, a drain connected to the gate of the transistor N5, and a gate connected to the drain of the transistor N5. The transistor N5 has a source connected to VSS, and a drain connected to the gate of the transistor P1. The gate of the transistor P1 corresponds to the node X1, and the gate of the transistor N5 corresponds to the node X2.
[0078] The transistors P2 to P4 have their sources and drains connected to VDD and their gates connected to a node X1. Since VSS is output to the node X1 from the fixed value output section 5, the transistors P2 to P4 function as capacitances. The transistors N1 to N4 and the transistor P5 are transistors in an off state.
[0079] 9, the local wirings 142, 143, 144, and 145 are connected to the power supply wiring 11 through vias. The local wiring 148 is connected to the power supply wiring 12 through a via. The metal wiring 151 is connected to the gate wirings 131a, 131b, 131c, and 131d through vias, and is also connected to the local wiring 146 through a via. The metal wiring 152 is connected to the gate wiring 131e through a via, and is also connected to the local wiring 141 through a via. The metal wiring 153 is connected to the gate wirings 136a, 136b, 136c, and 136d through vias, and is also connected to the local wiring 147 through a via. The metal wiring 154 is connected to the gate wiring 136e through a via, and is also connected to the local wiring 141 through a via.
[0080] In this modified example, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.
[0081] (Variation 2) Fig. 11 is a plan view showing a layout structure of a capacitance cell according to Modification 2 of the second embodiment. In the layout structure of Fig. 11, the arrangement of power supply wiring, transistors, and gate wiring is similar to that of the layout structure of Fig. 6. However, the arrangement of local wiring is partially different, and the connection relationship between the M1 wiring and the local wiring and gate wiring, as well as the connection relationship between the local wiring and the power supply wiring, are also different.
[0082] Fig. 12 is a circuit diagram of the capacitance cell shown in Fig. 11. The circuit in Fig. 12 corresponds to a circuit in which the sources and drains of the transistors P1 to P4 and N2 to N4, which are directly connected to VSS in the circuit in Fig. 8, are connected to node X2, which outputs a low fixed value (VSS) as a fixed value output.
[0083] As shown in FIG. 12, the cell shown in FIG. 11 has P-type transistors P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 and N-type transistors N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5. The transistors N2 to N4 function as capacitances. The transistors P5 and N1 constitute a fixed value output section 5. The fixed value output section 5 outputs a high fixed value (VDD) to a node X1 and outputs a low fixed value (VSS) to a node X2. The source of the transistor P5 is connected to VDD, the drain is connected to the gate of the transistor N1, and the gate is connected to the drain of the transistor N1. The source of the transistor N1 is connected to VSS, and the drain is connected to the gate of the transistor P5. The gate of the transistor N1 corresponds to the node X1, and the gate of the transistor P5 corresponds to the node X2.
[0084] The sources and drains of the transistors N2 to N4 are connected to the node X2, and the gates are connected to the node X1. The fixed value output unit 5 outputs VDD to the node X1, and the fixed value output unit 5 outputs VSS to the node X2, so that the transistors N2 to N4 function as capacitances.
[0085] The transistors P1 to P4 and the transistor N5 are in an off state. Although the circuit configuration of the capacitance cell does not necessarily require the transistors P1 to P4 and the transistor N5, the inclusion of the transistors improves the regularity of the layout of the capacitance cell, which in turn improves the ease of manufacturing the device, improves the yield, and suppresses manufacturing variations.
[0086] In the local wiring layer, local wirings 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, and 248 extending in the Y direction are formed. The local wiring 241 is connected to the pad 22a. The local wiring 242 is connected to the pad 27a, and is also connected to the power supply wiring 12 through a via. The local wiring 243 is connected to the pads 22b and 27b. The local wiring 244 is connected to the pads 22c and 27c. The local wiring 245 is connected to the pads 22d and 27d. The local wiring 246 is connected to the pad 22e, and is also connected to the power supply wiring 11 through a via. The local wiring 247 is connected to the pad 27e. The local wiring 248 is connected to the pads 22f and 27f.
[0087] In the M1 wiring layer, metal wirings 251, 252, 253, and 254 extending in the X direction are formed. The metal wirings 252 and 254 correspond to the node X1 of the circuit, and the metal wirings 251 and 253 correspond to the node X2 of the circuit. The metal wiring 251 is connected to the local wirings 241, 243, 244, and 245 through vias, and is also connected to the gate wiring 131e through a via. The metal wiring 252 is connected to the gate wirings 131a, 131b, 131c, and 131d through vias, and is also connected to the local wiring 248 through a via. The metal wiring 253 is connected to the local wirings 243, 244, 245, and 247 through vias. The metal wiring 254 is connected to the gate wirings 136a, 136b, 136c, and 136d through vias, and is also connected to the local wiring 248 through a via.
[0088] This modification also provides the same effects as the above-described embodiment. In addition, in this modification, the sources and drains of the transistors other than the transistor N1 constituting the fixed value output unit are not directly connected to VSS, so that device destruction due to ESD (Electro Static Discharge) can be suppressed.
[0089] In this modification, similarly to the first modification to the second embodiment, the conductivity types of the transistors can also be interchanged.
[0090] In the above-described embodiments and modifications, the power supply wiring for supplying VDD and VSS is BPR, but this is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, M1 wiring or the like.
[0091] Furthermore, in each of the above-described embodiments and modifications, four M1 wires extending in the X direction are formed, but some of the M1 wires may be omitted. [Industrial Applicability]
