    Abstract: Capacitor structures with low capacitances are disclosed. In one example, a capacitor structure is disclosed. The capacitor structure includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode comprises a first metal finger. The second electrode comprises a second metal finger and a third metal finger that are parallel to each other and to the first metal finger. The first metal finger is formed between the second metal finger and the third metal finger. The capacitor structure further includes: a fourth metal finger formed as a dummy metal finger between the first metal finger and the second metal finger, and a fifth metal finger formed as a dummy metal finger between the first metal finger and the third metal finger. The fourth metal finger and the fifth metal finger are parallel to the first metal finger.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional integrated circuit includes a first layer including at least one sensing element configured to output at least one temperature-dependent voltage; and a second layer disposed vertically with respect to the first layer and coupled to the first layer by at least one via. The second layer includes: a compare circuit configured to generate at least one intermediate voltage in response to comparing the at least one temperature-dependent voltage to a feedback voltage; a control circuit configured to generate at least one control signal in response to the intermediate voltage; and a switching circuit configured to couple a capacitor coupled to a feedback node to one of a first voltage supply and a second voltage supply in response to the at least one control signal to generate an output signal that is based on a temperature sensed by the sensing element.

    Abstract: A methodology and circuits for integrated circuit design are provided. A first electronic design file for an integrated circuit is provided. The first electronic design file for the integrated circuit has a timing measurement circuit thereon. Based on the first electronic design file, a number of integrated circuits are manufactured. These manufactured integrated circuits have respective timing measurement circuits arranged at predetermined locations thereon. The timing measurement circuits are used to measure a number of respective timing delay values, which are subject to manufacturing variation, on the integrated circuits. The measured timing delay values are used to set how an auto-place and route tool arranges blocks in a second electronic design file, which is routed after the timing delay values are measured, to account for any measured manufacturing variation.
