    摘要: A method of designing a circuit includes receiving a circuit design, and determining a temperature change of at least on back end of line (BEOL) element of the circuit design. The method further includes identifying at least one isothermal region within the circuit design; and determining, using a processor, a temperature increase of at least one front end of line (FEOL) device within the at least one isothermal region. The method further includes combining the temperature change of the at least one BEOL element with the temperature change of the at least one FEOL device, and comparing the combined temperature change with a threshold value.

    摘要: A method for cell characterization with Miller capacitance includes characterizing input capacitance of an input of a first stage in a cell by considering a first current transition at the input of the first stage up to a first stop time. The first stop time occurs during the first current transition exhibits a substantial tail portion contributed by the later of a first input voltage transition and a first output voltage transition reaching a corresponding steady state voltage. The first input voltage transition is associated with the input of the first stage. The first output voltage transition is associated with an output of the first stage coupled to the input through a capacitor.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a first and a second standard cell. The first standard cell includes a first gate electrode, and a first channel region underlying the first gate electrode. The first channel region has a first channel doping concentration. The second standard cell includes a second gate electrode, and a second channel region underlying the second gate electrode. The second channel region has a second channel doping concentration. A dummy gate includes a first half and a second half in the first and the second standard cells, respectively. The first half and the second half are at the edges of the first and the second standard cells, respectively, and are abutted to each other. A dummy channel is overlapped by the dummy gate. The dummy channel has a third channel doping concentration substantially equal to a sum of the first channel doping concentration and the second channel doping concentration.
