摘要:
Solutions for efficiently implementing a via into a multi-level integrated circuit layout are disclosed. In various embodiments, a method of creating a multi-level integrated circuit layout with at least one via is disclosed, the method including: providing at least two layers of the multi-level integrated circuit layout; and selecting a via for connecting the at least two layers, wherein the selecting includes retrieving the via from a via library including a plurality of via types, the plurality of via types prioritized in the via library according to a predicted manufacturing yield for each of the plurality of vias.
摘要:
A method of designing an integrated circuit includes modifying a design attribute-variable electromigration (EM) limit for each pre-defined circuit based on at least one reliability constraint in order to avoid EM violations of an integrated circuit. The method further includes synthesizing the integrated circuit from a high level description to at least a subset of the pre-defined circuit devices using the modified design-variable EM limit of each pre-defined circuit.
摘要:
A system that registers the relationship of use and dependencies in a master source database (i.e., a registration schema) thereby providing cohesiveness between the master source data and downstream systems that receive the master source data fields. The registration schema provides rules for a generic data bridge which executes the movement of master source database data to downstream systems, providing further cohesive connection between what was registered for use and dependencies and what actually occurs in the movement of data to downstream systems. The generic data bridge's actions, on a field-by-field basis, are documented in a use and dependency model. In addition, modification of the use and dependencies registration section of the master source database allows changes to made as opposed to having to modify specific system bridges.

摘要:
A system and method for reserving manufacturing capacity to satisfy a customer deliverable order for a product. The system and method uses a relational database tool adapted to receive said customer deliverable order; and a product manager tool operatively connected to said relational database tool, said product manager tool being adapted to obtain a block of part numbers from unallocated part numbers and to supply said block of part number to said relation database.

A method and structure for forecasting financial obligations for processing mask orders for semiconductor chips includes preparing a relational database of part numbers of graphical data and common mask order descriptions, processing a mask order through the relational database to output part numbers, predicting costs of manufacturing a mask associated with the mask order, and altering aspects of the mask order to produce a change on the costs of manufacturing the mask.
