    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit includes generating a first and second standard cell layout design, and manufacturing the integrated circuit based on at least the first or second standard cell layout design. The first standard cell layout design has a first height. The second standard cell layout design has a second height different from the first height. The second standard cell layout design is adjacent to the first standard cell layout design. Generating the first standard cell layout design includes generating a first set of pin layout patterns extending in a first direction, being on a first layout level, and having a first width. Generating the second standard cell layout design includes generating a second set of pin layout patterns extending in the first direction, being on the first layout level, and having a second width different from the first width.

    摘要: A method of generating a techfile corresponding to a predetermined fabrication process is disclosed. The method includes determining a typical value and a corner variation value usable to model an electrical characteristic of a layer of back end of line (BEOL) features to be fabricated by the predetermined fabrication process, based on measurement of one or more sample integrated circuit chips fabricated by the predetermined fabrication process. A reduced variation value is calculated based on the corner variation value and a scaling factor. The techfile is generated based on the typical value and the reduced variation value.
