90 nm

General characteristics

Mostly copper with thick aluminum on the top layer.

Identification

Devices

180 nm

General characteristics

1.8V core with I/O up to 3.3V. Many mixed-signal devices will have an on-die LDO for generating 1.8 from 3.3 however higher end devices such as programmable logic typically expect an external 1.8V supply.

4-5 aluminum layers with tungsten vias, titanium-based barrier metal, and cobalt silicide contacts.

Power ring and pad layouts can vary somewhat, as does presence or absence of CMP filler between bond pads.

On-die Flash/EEPROM option available.

Identification

The CMP filler pattern is distinctive and can be used as positive ID. Fill polygons are rectangles with 2:1 aspect ratio, long side oriented parallel to the prevailing routing direction.
