Methods and software for placing or re-placing integrated circuit cells and routing or re-routing nets between the cells in an integrated circuit layout. The method includes selecting a region of the cells in the integrated circuit layout, selecting a cell within the selected region, locating a border point where a net coupled to the selected cell crosses a border of the selected region, and moving the selected cell within the selected region to improve a timing characteristic (e.g., a wire length, capacitance, or other characteristic of the net that affects timing or delay) of the net. The method and software advantageously improve the placement of cells and routing of wires around congested or reserved regions after global routing has been performed, without causing timing violations in other signal paths on the integrated circuit device, in a computationally efficient manner.

A method for manufacturing a lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device includes forming an oxide layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming first and second trenches by partially etching the oxide layer and the semiconductor substrate, forming a small trench overlapping with the second trench so that the second trench has a stepped structure, and depositing one or more dielectric layers so that the first trench forms a device isolation layer defining a semiconductor device region and the second trench having a stepped structure forms a drain extension device isolation layer. The breakdown voltage of the LDMOS device may be improved while reducing the on-resistance, thereby improving the operational reliability of the device.

A pad in a semiconductor device and fabricating method thereof are disclosed. The pad includes an uppermost metal layer first to Nth intermediate metal layers, wherein capacitors configured or formed by the uppermost metal layer and the first to Nth intermediate metal layers are serially connected. Accordingly, the pad reduces total parasitic capacitance components by connecting MIM type capacitors in series, and not necessarily overlapping with each other, thereby minimizing design errors attributed to the pad by reducing parasitic factors generated from the integrated circuit design. The pad may also minimize capacitance attributed to resonance at a specific frequency. Moreover, the pad avoids affecting an adjacent pad or circuit without additional processing, despite maintaining the above-mentioned effects, thereby reducing cost.

摘要:
Semiconductor devices and/or structures, and methods for fabricating the same are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention allow for production of customized products, while also minimizing production steps, avoiding some or all photolithography steps, and reducing overall production costs. Using selective deposition and patterning methods such as printing, to form metal and/or dielectric layer(s) on substrates where one or more device circuit components are pre-made in a factory, but which require further processing to obtain an electrically functional circuit, results in the ability for a user/consumer to make custom, specific and/or unique electrically functional circuits without incurring the cost and complexity of a full fabrication to form and pattern all of the layers.
