Just wondering, normally how much is the substrate resistance between GND and substrate? Let say for a IBM0.18um
 

Re: Substrate Resistance

The substrate resistive component creates intrinsic noise due to thermal noise at the background of the spurious signals. The strength of intrinsic noise is relatively low compared to that of switching noise. Thus it is often ignored in most substrate noise analysis.

Re: Substrate Resistance

Resistivity of the n-well under OD /under STI is around 500/900 ohms/sq for a modern process that i have access to.
I am sure you can find a similar parameter in your own process files.
Similarly other resitivities can also be found.
 

Re: Substrate Resistance

It's about several hundreds ohms in many technologies.
You can find discussion of this topic on some RFIC
modelling articles.
 

Substrate Resistance

Due to the distributed nature of the substrate, it is very difficult to caculate the real resistance since there are too many reference points. Cadence right now offer a tool called "VCA" can do the substate resistance extection.
