摘要： A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing multiple mask lithography timing variation mitigation for a multiple mask polysilicon (PC) process. An application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) library includes at least one circuit device for a first mask, and at least one circuit device for a second mask. Critical hold time paths and critical setup time paths are identified in a circuit design. For critical hold time paths, circuit devices in the critical hold time paths are placed on a single mask of either the first mask or the second mask. For critical setup time paths, path delays are reduced by providing a mixture of circuit devices on the first mask and the second mask.

摘要： A semiconductor chip has shapes on a particular level that are small enough to require a first mask and a second mask, the first mask and the second mask used in separate exposures during processing. A circuit on the semiconductor chip requires close tracking between a first and a second FET (field effect transistor). For example, the particular level may be a gate shape level. Separate exposures of gate shapes using the first mask and the second mask will result in poorer FET tracking (e.g., gate length, threshold voltage) than for FETs having gate shapes defined by only the first mask. FET tracking is selectively improved by laying out a circuit such that selective FETs are defined by the first mask. In particular, static random access memory (SRAM) design benefits from close tracking of six or more FETs in an SRAM cell.

摘要： A delay circuit receives a data input having an input transition and that generates a data output having an output transition. The delay circuit is powered by a voltage source having a voltage. A first delay element is configured to generate a first data signal with a first edge that has a relatively constant delay relative to the input transition irrespective of the voltage of the voltage source. A second delay element is configured to generate a second data signal with a second edge that has a delay relative to the input transition as a function of the voltage of the voltage source. A selection element causes the output transition at the data output to correspond to a latest selected one of the first edge and the second edge. The delay circuit may be employed in a pulse generating circuit.

摘要： The present disclosure is an apparatus for generating a decreasing delay with increasing input voltage to a predetermined voltage value at which point the delay may remain constant. The apparatus may include a circuit comprising a voltage regulator receiving an input voltage and two paths of inverters. At least two paths of inverters may be coupled to an input signal, the input signal may be low voltage (e.g. 0) or high voltage (e.g. 1). A first path may be referenced to a reference voltage while the second path may be referenced to the input voltage. The apparatus may include logic gates for receiving the output of each of the first path of inverters and the output of the second path of inverters to generate a desired output. As the input voltage increases, delay of the apparatus may decrease until the input voltage is approximately the same voltage as the reference voltage, at which the delay may remain constant.
