摘要:
An apparatus fabricated using a standard cell architecture including devices having different voltage thresholds may include a first set of polylines associated with a first channel length, where each polyline within the first set of polylines is separated by a substantially constant pitch. The apparatus may further include a second set of polylines associated with a second channel length and aligned with the first set of polylines, where each polyline within the second set of polylines is laterally separated by the substantially constant pitch. The apparatus may further include a first active region below the first set of polylines, and a second active region below the second set of polylines, where the first active region and the second active region are separated by a distance of less than 170 nm.

摘要:
Gridded polysilicon semiconductor layouts implement double poly patterning to cut polylines of the layout into polyline segments. Devices are arranged on the polyline segments of a common polyline to reduce the area used to implement a circuit structure relative to conventional gridded polysilicon layout. Stacking of PMOS and NMOS devices is enabled by using double poly patterning to implement additional cuts which form additional polyline segments. Metal layer routing may connect nodes of separate polyline segments.
摘要:
Circuit elements are characterized for effects of proximity context on electrical characteristic. Based on the characterization, proximity context cell models, and corresponding modeled electrical characteristic values are obtained. Logic cells are characterized and modeled according to the proximity context cell models. Optionally the electrical characteristic can be time delay, leakage, dynamic power, or coupling noise among other parameters.
