    Stick diagrams are a means of capturing circuit layout and layer information using simple diagrams. They show the relative placement of components through color-coded sticks but do not show exact placement or low-level details. Stick diagrams follow rules such as sticks of the same type crossing represent electrical contact while different types crossing do not. They act as an interface between symbolic circuits and actual layouts, helping to plan routing. The document discusses objectives, outcomes, capabilities, limitations, and how to draw stick diagrams.

    • To understand the capabilities and limitations of stick
    diagram.
    • To learn how to draw stick diagrams for a given MOS
    circuit.

     Outcome:
    • At the end of this module the students will be able
    draw the stick diagram for simple MOS circuits.

     VLSI design aims to translate circuit concepts


    onto silicon.
     stick diagrams are a means of capturing
    topography and layer information using
    simple diagrams.
     Stick diagrams convey layer information
    through colour codes (or monochrome
    encoding).
     Acts as an interface between symbolic circuit
    and the actual layout.

    Stick Diagrams

     Does show all components/vias.


     It shows relative placement of components.
     Goes one step closer to the layout
     Helps plan the layout and routing

    A stick diagram is a cartoon of a layout.

    Stick Diagrams – Some rules


    Rule 1.
    When two or more ‘sticks’ of the same type cross
    or touch each other that represents electrical
    contact.

    Stick Diagrams – Some rules


    Rule 2.
    When two or more ‘sticks’ of different type cross
    or touch each other there is no electrical contact.
    (If electrical contact is needed we have to show the connection
    explicitly).

    Rule 3.
    When a poly crosses diffusion it represents a
    transistor.

    Note: If a contact is shown then it is not a transistor.

    Stick Diagrams – Some rules


    Rule 4.
    In CMOS a demarcation line is drawn to avoid
    touching of p-diff with n-diff. All pMOS must lie
    on one side of the line and all nMOS will have
    to be on the other side.

     Home work:
    1. Draw the stick diagram for two input CMOS NAND
    gate.
    2. Draw the stick diagram for two input NAND gate
    using NMOS Logic.
    3. Draw the stick diagram for 2:1 MUX using
    a) Pass transistors
    b) Transmission gates.

    Drawing stick diagram is truly Fun!!. Enjoy it.
