Abstract

The high-performance standard cell library is very important for the ASIC design. A radiation-hardened standard cell library can significantly enhance the reliability and performance of digital circuits that work in a hard radiation environment. We have developed a radiation-hardened standard cell library for the commercial 0.18μm CMOS technology. Some of the radiation-hardened techniques (such as the temporal filtering structure, the P+/N+ guard rings) have been discussed, validated and used for the standard cells. Also we have characterized this RH standard cell library to support the RTL to GDSII ASIC design flow.
