    摘要: A method is provided for designing a semiconductor chip having one or more functionally interfaced dynamic array sections. A virtual grate is laid out for conductive features used to define a gate electrode level of a dynamic array section. The virtual grate is defined by a framework of parallel lines defined at a substantially constant pitch. One or more conductive features are arranged along every line of the virtual grate. For each line of the virtual grate, a gap is defined between proximate ends of each pair of adjacent conductive features which are arranged along a common line of the virtual grate. Each gap is defined to maintain a substantially consistent separation between proximate ends of conductive features. Each conductive feature is defined to be devoid of a substantial change in direction, such that the conductive features remain substantially aligned to the framework of parallel lines of the virtual grate.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for defining a multiple patterned cell layout for use in an integrated circuit design. A layout is defined for a level of a cell in accordance with a dynamic array architecture so as to include a number of layout features. The number of layout features are linear-shaped and commonly oriented. The layout is split into a number of sub-layouts for the level of the cell. Each of the number of layout features in the layout is allocated to any one of the number of sub-layouts. Also, the layout is split such that each sub-layout is independently fabricatable. The sub-layouts for the level of the cell are stored on a computer readable medium.

    摘要: Gate structures are positioned within a region in accordance with a gate horizontal grid that includes at least seven gate gridlines separated from each other by a gate pitch of less than or equal to about 193 nanometers. Each gate structure has a substantially rectangular shape with a width of less than or equal to about 45 nanometers and is positioned to extend lengthwise along a corresponding gate gridline. Each gate gridline has at least one gate structure positioned thereon. A first-metal layer is formed above top surfaces of the gate structures within the region and includes first-metal structures positioned in accordance with a first-metal vertical grid that includes at least eight first-metal gridlines. Each first-metal structure has a substantially rectangular shape and is positioned to extend along a corresponding first-metal gridline. At least six contact structures of substantially rectangular shape contact the at least six gate structures.

    摘要: An exclusive-or circuit includes a pass gate controlled by a second input node. The pass gate is connected to pass through a version of a logic state present at a first input node to an output node when so controlled. A transmission gate is controlled by the first input node. The transmission gate is connected to pass through a version of the logic state present at the second input node to the output node when so controlled. Pullup logic is controlled by both the first and second input nodes. The pullup logic is connected to drive the output node low when both the first and second input nodes are high. An exclusive-nor circuit is defined similar to the exclusive-or circuit, except that the pullup logic is replaced by pulldown logic which is connected to drive the output node high when both the first and second input nodes are high.
