Abstract: Generating a layout of an integrated circuit chip area from a description of an integrated circuit (IC). The description includes a register-transfer-level (RTL) design. The RTL design is partitioned in large blocks for synthesis of large block synthesis (LBS) blocks. The description of the IC further includes a floorplan for the IC, wherein each LBS block to be synthesized is assigned to a respective rectilinear shape in the floorplan and the rectilinear shapes do not overlap each other.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to a digital logic circuit. A clock generation circuitry has both a clock generation circuitry output and an inverter circuit to generate a derivative clock signal feature by inverting an array clock signal feature. A scanable storage element has both a scanable storage element output and a set of flip-flops. A memory array is connected with the scanable storage element output and the array clock signal feature. The digital logic circuit is configured to avoid a race violation.

Abstract: A method for adding an electrical interconnection within a three-dimensional integrated circuit (3-D IC) is disclosed. The method may include creating, within a design file of a 3-D IC that specifies a layout for a first chip of the 3-D IC, design data corresponding to a set of through-silicon via (TSV) reservation areas. The method may also include receiving an engineering change order (ECO) and releasing, in response to the ECO, at least one TSV reservation area for reuse. The method may also include adding, by re-using at least one TSV reservation area, an electrical interconnection within the design file of the first chip of the 3-D IC.

Abstract: A through-silicon via access device (TSVAD) for establishing an electrical connection to a through-silicon via (TSV) located in a planar stack of semiconductor chips is disclosed. The TSVAD may include a switching circuit, having a conductive pad terminal, a TSV terminal, an input terminal coupled to a sending logic circuit, an output terminal coupled to a receiving logic circuit, and logic devices to, in response to control signals, couple the TSV terminal to the conductive pad terminal, in one configuration, and couple the TSV terminal to another terminal in another configuration. The TSVAD may also include a control circuit to generate control signals to cause an input selection circuit to drive a signal from the sending logic circuit onto the input terminal, and to cause an output selection circuit to drive a logic signal from the output terminal to the receiving logic circuit.
