    摘要: The present application discloses a method of generating an intellectual property (IP) block design kit including an IP block circuit design and a system-level characteristics table for manufacturing an integrated circuit. According at least one embodiment, the IP block circuit design is generated. The IP block circuit design is simulated based on predetermined configuration sets, and each configuration set has manufacturing options and/or operating conditions. A plurality of system-level models for the predetermined configuration sets are generated based on the simulation of the IP block circuit design. The system-level characteristics table is generated by arranging the predetermined configuration sets and the system-level models in compliance with a system-level characteristics table template of a system-level characteristics modeling device. Then the IP block circuit design and the system-level characteristics table are stored as the IP block design kit.

    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit structure on a chip includes extracting an active pattern including a diffusion region; enlarging the active pattern to form a dummy-forbidden region having a first edge and a second edge perpendicular to each other; and adding stress-blocking dummy diffusion regions throughout the chip, which includes adding a first stress-blocking dummy diffusion region adjacent and substantially parallel to the first edge of the dummy-forbidden region; and adding a second stress-blocking dummy diffusion region adjacent and substantially parallel to the second edge of the dummy-forbidden region. The method further includes, after the step of adding the stress-blocking dummy diffusion regions throughout the chip, adding general dummy diffusion regions into remaining spacings of the chip.
