    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit is provided which entails no increase in the correction time of OPC and in which non-uniformity in the gate lengths due to the optical proximity effects is surely suppressed. A plurality of standard cells (C1, C2, C3, . . . ), each including gates G extended in the vertical direction, are aligned in the transverse direction to form a standard cell row. A plurality of the standard cell rows are located side by side in the vertical direction to form a standard cell group. Each of the standard cell rows has a terminal standard cell Ce at least one end of the standard cell row. The terminal standard cell Ce includes two or more supplementary gates, each of which is any of a dummy gate and a gate of an inactive transistor.

    摘要: In a defect inspecting apparatus, the strength of a fatal defect signal decreases due to miniaturization. Thus, in order to assure a high SN ratio, it is necessary to reduce noises caused by scattered light from a wafer. Roughness of a pattern edge and surface roughness which serve as a scattered-light source are spread over the entire wafer. The present invention has discovered the fact that reduction of an illuminated area is a technique effective for decreasing noises. That is to say, the present invention has discovered the fact that creation of an illuminated area having a spot shape and reduction of the dimension of a spot beam are effective. A plurality of temporally and spatially divided spot beams are radiated to the wafer serving as a sample.

    摘要: There is provided a layout structure of a semiconductor integrated circuit capable of preventing the thinning of a metal wiring line close to a cell boundary and wire breakage therein without involving increases in the amount of data for OPC correction and OPC process time. In a region interposed between a power supply line and a ground line each placed to extend in a first direction, first and second cells each having a transistor and an intra-cell line each for implementing a circuit function are placed to be adjacent to each other in the first direction. In a boundary portion between the first and second cells, a metal wiring line extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction is placed so as not to short-circuit the power supply line and the ground line.

    摘要: In a semiconductor integrated circuit including a plurality of cells, a supplementary power-supply wire is disposed between a lattice-shaped upper power-supply wire and a lower cell power-supply wire for cases in which power is supplied from the upper power-supply wire to the lower cell power-supply wire. The supplementary power-supply wire and the lower cell power-supply wire are connected by two vias. The supplementary power-supply wire and the upper power-supply wire are connected by a single via. Current from the supplementary power-supply wire is divided by the two vias and then supplied to the lower cell power-supply wire. Therefore, when power is supplied from the upper power-supply wire to the lower cell power-supply wire, current concentration at the connection points of the lower cell power-supply wire to the vias is decreased, thereby reducing wire breaks caused by EM (electro migration).

    摘要: In a CMOS level shifting circuit including N-channel transistors that have sources to which a digital signal is supplied, a bias voltage Vref is supplied to gates of the N-channel transistors, and the bias voltage Vref is set to be higher than a high level voltage of the digital signal and lower than a value obtained by adding a threshold voltage of the N-channel transistors to the high level voltage of the digital signal. Thus, a level shifting circuit is provided that is capable of outputting a signal having subjected to stable level conversion, even when a voltage level of a low voltage signal is lowered.
