    摘要: Routability (or wiring congestion) in a VLSI chip is becoming increasingly important as chip complexity increases. Congestion has a significant impact on performance, yield, and chip area. The present invention targets the optimization of congestion early in technology independent synthesis prior to physical design.Instead of attempting to optimize the logic structure as well as the spatial placement of a circuit, we pose a more modest goal limiting such optimization to the scope of logic synthesis. That is, we propose an aggressive optimization approach that is cognizant of circuit structure during technology independent synthesis and produces more predictable implementations which give better routability and yield.

    摘要: The coating of a conductor pattern on dielectric green sheets to a common edge thereof with stacking or superimpositioning together of a plurality of sheets to enclose the conductor pattern followed by sintering, with the edge side of the fired body having the exposed end terminations becoming the actual face of the body on which a semiconductor device is mounted in electrical circuit connection to respective ones of the common end terminations of the conductor runs. The conductor runs are returned through the body to the active face of the body to position the opposite or distal ends of the conductors thereat, in an increased spaced relationship of the distal conductor terminations. For external connection, terminal pins may be embedded in the fired body for connection at adjacent and to the distal conductor termination, with the pins projecting therefrom.

    摘要: A method of performing a static timing analysis based on slack values to verify and optimize a logic design includes: selecting one or more circuits within the logic design having at least two inputs taking on a known value; identifying a critical input that controls an output arrival time of the selected circuit from among the inputs that take on the known value; determining one or more non-critical input of the circuit a required arrival time based on the difference between the arrival times of the critical and non-critical inputs; and computing the slack at a critical input based on the difference between the AT of the critical and non-critical inputs. The design optimization based on the slack defined by arrival time differences preferably uses a reverse merge margin design metric. The metric determines the exact required amount of improvement in the input arrival time of non-critical signals of a clock shaping circuit.

    摘要: A method for eliminating negative slack in a netlist representing a chip design uses a contrived timing environment to overlay information onto the design environment during logic and physical synthesis phase. The overlaid timing information determines which netlist transformation provides a maximum leverage for the negative slack elimination and a way for creating a dynamic transformation recipe tuned for each design. The method further provides upper bounds on the negative slack elimination to prevent the netlist transforms from being applied to situations exceeding the capabilities for improving the design.

    摘要: A method of making an aperture of a predetermined shape into a dielectric substrate which will lockingly receive a deformable contact pin. It includes providing a dielectric material which shrinks in response to a heat treatment by an amount which is different in one direction from that in another direction, and which irreversibly changes dimensions in its two orthogonal directions in proportion to this difference. An aperture is formed in such a material, in a direction normal to the plane of the two orthogonal directions and the material is subjected to a heat treatment that causes a differential shrinkage in the aperture and a change in the shape of the aperture. A deformable contact pin is then forced into a locking position in the aperture. By using such a method to lock a contact pin in close proximity to a conductive line extending across the substrate or by having the aperture and the pin extend through the substrate, electrical circuits on one side of the substrate can be contacted through a contact pin on the opposite side of the substrate.

    摘要: A substrate for packaging semiconductor chips is provided which is structured with conductors having opposite ends terminating in a mounting surface and intermediate portions extending beneath the surface. The ends of the conductors are arranged in repeating patterns longitudinally along the substrate separated by orthogonal strips free of conductor ends to allow for dense surface wiring. The repeating patterns are arranged to allow for chip mounting sites having sufficient spacing to allow for surface wiring. In this way chips in the same and repeat pattern can be connected by personalized surface wiring and preset substrate conductors.
