    摘要: An integrated circuit layout includes a standard cell, which includes a first gate strip and a second gate strip parallel to each other and having a gate pitch; a first boundary and a second boundary on opposite ends of the first standard cell; and a third boundary and a fourth boundary on opposite ends of the first standard cell and parallel to the first gate strip and the second gate strip. A cell pitch between the third boundary and the fourth boundary is not equal to integer times the gate pitch. A PMOS transistor is formed of the first gate strip and a first active region. An NMOS transistor is formed of the first gate strip and a second active region.

    摘要: A method of designing integrated circuits includes providing a design of an integrated circuit at a first scale, wherein the integrated circuit includes a shrinkable circuit including a first intellectual property (IP); and a non-shrinkable circuit including a second IP having a hierarchical structure. A marker layer is formed to cover the non-shrinkable circuit, wherein the shrinkable circuit is not covered by the marker layer. The electrical performance of the non-shrinkable circuit is simulated using a simulation tool, wherein the simulated non-shrinkable circuit is at a second scale smaller than the first scale.

    摘要: A method for converting a circuit design into a semiconductor device includes the following steps. A first set of deign information is provided for representing the circuit design. Priority design information, which represents a priority portion of the circuit design, is extracted from the first set of design information. The priority design information is processed for generating a second set of design information. The semiconductor device is fabricated based on the first and second sets of design information. The second set of design information contains enhanced fabrication conditions as opposed to those of the first set of design information for optimizing the conversion of the circuit design into the semiconductor device.
