    摘要: A method for converting a circuit design into a semiconductor device includes the following steps. A first set of deign information is provided for representing the circuit design. Priority design information, which represents a priority portion of the circuit design, is extracted from the first set of design information. The priority design information is processed for generating a second set of design information. The semiconductor device is fabricated based on the first and second sets of design information. The second set of design information contains enhanced fabrication conditions as opposed to those of the first set of design information for optimizing the conversion of the circuit design into the semiconductor device.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides an interconnect structure for a semiconductor device. The interconnect structure includes a first metal layer that contains a first metal line. The interconnect structure includes a dielectric layer located over the first metal layer. The dielectric layer contains a first sub-via electrically coupled to the first metal line and a second sub-via electrically coupled to the first sub-via. The second sub-via is different from the first sub-via. The interconnect structure includes a second metal layer located over the dielectric layer. The second metal layer contains a second metal line electrically coupled to the second sub-via. No other metal layer is located between the first metal layer and the second metal layer.

    摘要: Efficient and cost-effective systems and methods for detecting and correcting hot spots of semiconductor devices are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for creating a layout from a circuit design is described. The method includes applying a first set of hot spot conditions to a global route to produce a detailed route; applying a second set of hot spot conditions to the detailed route to produce a post-detailed route; and applying a third set of hot spot conditions to the post-detailed route to produce the layout. In another aspect, a method includes providing a circuit design; applying a first hot spot filter to a global routing of the circuit design to produce a detailed route; applying a less pessimistic, second hot spot filter to the detailed route to produce a post-detailed route; and performing a rip-up and reroute of the post-detailed route to produce a final layout.
