    摘要: A method (300) of placing a to-be-placed integrated circuit macro (404) adjacent one or more already-placed macros (400) aboard an integrated circuit chip (100). The method includes the step of performing a canonical ordering of the edges of the to-be-placed and already placed macros. Then, an edge constraint vector (500, 526) is generated for each active edge (668) of the already-placed macro(s) and each edge of the to-be-placed macro. Each of the edge constraint vectors of the to-be-placed macro is compared to each edge constraint vector of the active edge(s) using a string matching algorithm so as to determine whether any edges of the to-be-placed macro are compatible with any active edges of the already-placed macro(s). The method may be implemented in a CAD system (600).

    摘要: Methods, systems and program products are disclosed for selectively scaling an integrated circuit (IC) design: by layer, by unit, or by ground rule, or a combination of these. The selective scaling technique can be applied in a feedback loop with the manufacturing system with process and yield feedback, during the life of a design, to increase yield in early processes in such a way that hierarchy is preserved. The invention removes the need to involve designers in improving yield where new technologies such as maskless fabrication are implemented.

    摘要: A method, system and program product for correcting via spacing violations by generating a redundant via to replace one of a pair of vias that violate a ground rule, are disclosed. The redundant via corrects the ground rule violation. The target via corresponding to the redundant via is then removed, which corrects the ground rule violation. The invention can be applied to any spacing ground rule including same net and different net rules, and may also be applied to a current technology or, during migration, to a new technology. The invention can be applied to different levels of a design to ensure ground rule compliance throughout the design.

    摘要: A method, system and program product for merging cloned and original circuit shapes such that a union thereof does not include a notch. The invention determines, for a cell including an original circuit shape and at least one overlapping clone of the original circuit shape, whether each clone corner point of each overlapping clone is within a threshold distance of a corresponding original corner point of the original circuit shape; and generates, in the case that each clone corner point of each overlapping clone circuit shape is within a threshold distance, a union of each overlapping clone and the original circuit shape such that the union does not contain a notch. The union is generated using a point code that sets a new position for a union corner point to remove a notch based on the original shape's direction and the edge orientations previous to and next to the corner point.
