In this paper, interface circuits that are suitable for point-to-point interconnection with an over 1 Gbps data rate per pin are proposed. To achieve a successful data transfer rate of multi-gigabits per-second between two chips with a point-to-point interconnection, the input receiver uses an on-chip parallel terminator of the pass gate style, while the output driver uses the pullup and pulldown transistors of the diode-connected style. In addition, the novel dynamic voltage level converter (DVLC) has solved such problems as the access time increase and valid data window reduction. These schemes were adopted on a 64 Mb DDR SRAM with a 1.5 Gbps data rate per pin and fabricated using a 0.10 ${\mu}m$ dual gate oxide CMOS technology.

This paper describes a method for verifying whether a given geometrical layout correcdtly reflects the original logic level description. The logic description extracted from layout data was directly compadred with the original logic diagram generated at logic level design stage where the logic diagram is represented as a weighted multi-place graph. The comparison is based on graph isomorphism and error messages(error categories and locations)are invoked if any difference is found between the two logic descriptions. An efficient partitioning algorithm which consists of two steps, candidate selection and equal weight partitioning procedure, enables the entire verification process to occur in O(n log n) time.

CMP(chemical mechanical polishing) process has been attracted as an essential technology of multi-level interconnection. However, the COO(cost of ownership) is very high, because of high consumable cost. Especially, among the consumables, slurry dominates more than 40 %. So, we focused how to reduce the consumption of raw slurry. In this paper, We have studied the CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) characteristics of slurry by adding of raw alumina abrasive and annealed alumina abrasive. As a experimental results, we obtained the comparable slurry characteristics compared with original silica slurry in the view point of high removal rate and low non-uniformity. Therefore, we can reduce the cost of consumables(COC) of CMP process for ULSI applications.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology has been widely used for global planarization of multi-level interconnection for ULSI applications. However, the cost of ownership and cost of consumables are relatively high because of expensive slurry. In this paper, we studied the mixed abrasive slurry(MAS). In order to save the costs of slurry, the original silica slurry was diluted by de-ionized water (DIW). And then, $ZrO_2$,$CeO_2$, and $MnO_2$ abrasives were added in the diluted slurry in order to promote the mechanical force of diluted slurry. We have also investigate the possibility of mixed abrasive slurry for the oxide CMP application.

CMP(chemical mechanical polishing) process has been attracted as an essential technology of multi~level interconnection. However, the COO(cost of ownership) is very high, because of high consumable cost. Especially, among the consumables, slurry dominates more than 40%. So, we focused how to reduce the consumption of raw slurry In this paper, we presented the pH changes of diluted slurry and pH control as a function of KOH contents. Also, the removal rates of slurry with different dilution ratio were investigated. Finally, the CMP characteristics were discussed as a function of silica (SiO$_2$) abrasive contents.
