    摘要: A method comprises generating a first set of configurations of a layout of semiconductor components. The configurations of the first set of configurations each satisfy a first sub-set of a set of design rules. The method also comprises generating a second set of configurations of the layout of semiconductor components. The second set of configurations are generated by eliminating one or more configurations of the first set of configurations based on a determination that the eliminated one or more configurations of the first set of configurations fail to satisfy a second sub-set of the set of design rules. The method further comprises selecting a layout generation configuration for generating the layout of semiconductor components. The method additionally comprises generating the layout of semiconductor components based on the selected layout generation configuration.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes two parallel active zones extending in a first direction, an n-type pick-up region, and a p-type pick-up region. The two parallel active zones includes a p-type active zone located in an n-type well and an n-type active zone located in a p-type well. The n-type pick-up region is located in the n-type well and configured to have a first supply voltage. The p-type pick-up region is located in the p-type well and configured to have a second supply voltage, wherein the second supply voltage is lower than the first supply voltage. The n-type pick-up region and the p-type pick-up region are separated from each other along a direction that is different from the first direction.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for polysilicon MOS capacitors in a replacement gate process. A method includes disposing a gate dielectric layer over a semiconductor substrate; disposing a polysilicon gate layer over the dielectric layer; patterning the gate dielectric layer and the polysilicon gate layer to form a plurality of polysilicon gates spaced by at least a minimum polysilicon to polysilicon pitch; defining a polysilicon resistor region containing at least one of the polysilicon gates and not containing at least one other of the polysilicon gates, which form dummy gates; depositing a mask layer over an inter-level dielectric layer; patterning the mask layer to expose the dummy gates; removing the dummy gates and the gate dielectric layer underneath the dummy gates to leave trenches in the inter-level dielectric layer; and forming high-k metal gate devices in the trenches in the inter-level dielectric layer. An apparatus produced by the method is disclosed.

    摘要: A circuit includes a comparator unit, a capacitive device, and a switching network. The comparator unit is configured to set a control signal at a first logical value when an output voltage reaches a first voltage value from being less than the first voltage value, and to set the control signal at a second logical value when the output voltage reaches a second voltage value from being greater than the second voltage. The capacitive device provides the output voltage. The switching network is configured to charge or discharge the capacitive device based on the control signal.
