摘要:
Method, system and program product for determining a critical area in a region of an integrated circuit layout using Voronoi diagrams and shape biasing. The method includes the steps of generating a biased Voronoi diagram based on a layout geometry of the region and incorporating a shape bias; and determining the critical area for the region using the biased Voronoi diagram.

Disclosed is a method that determines critical areas associated with different types of fault mechanisms in an integrated circuit design. The invention does this by constructing individual Voronoi diagrams for critical areas of individual fault mechanisms and a composite Voronoi diagram based on the individual Voronoi diagrams. The invention computes the critical area for composite fault mechanisms of the integrated circuit design based on the composite Voronoi diagram.
摘要:
A method of calculating critical area in an integrated circuit design, said method comprising: inputting an integrated circuit design; associating variables with the positions of edges in said integrated circuit design; and associating cost functions of said variables with spacing between said edges in said integrated circuit design; wherein said cost functions calculate critical area contributions as the positions and length of said edges in said integrated circuit design change, and wherein said critical area contributions comprise a measure of electrical fault characteristics of said spacing between said edges in said integrated circuit design.
