摘要: A system for generating a layout diagram of a wire routing arrangement in a multi-patterning context having multiple masks (the layout diagram being stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium), at least one processor, at least one memory and computer program code (for one or more programs) of the system being configured to cause the system to execute generating the layout diagram including: placing, relative to a given one of the masks, a given cut pattern at a first candidate location over a corresponding portion of a given conductive pattern in a metallization layer; determining whether the first candidate location results in at least one of a non-circular group or a cyclic group which violates a design rule; and temporarily preventing placement of the given cut pattern in the metallization layer at the first candidate location until a correction is made which avoids violating the design rule.

摘要: A method includes: identifying ad hoc groups of elementary standard cells recurrent in a layout diagram; and selecting one group (selected group) of the recurrent ad hoc groups such that: the cells in the selected group have connections representing a corresponding logic circuit; each cell representing a logic gate; each ad hoc group has a number of transistors and a first number of logic gates; and the selected group providing a logical function. The method includes generating one or more macro standard cells such that: each macro standard cell has a number of transistors which is smaller than the number of transistors of a corresponding ad hoc group; or each macro standard cell has a second number of logic gates different than the first number of logic gates of the corresponding ad hoc group. The method also includes adding macro standard cells to the set of standard cells.

摘要: A method of modifying a cell includes identifying a maximum overlapped pin group. The method further includes determining a number of pins in the maximum overlapped pin group. The method further includes determining a span region of the maximum overlapped pin group. The method further includes comparing the number of pins and the span region to determine a global tolerance of the cell. The method further includes increasing a length of at least one pin of the maximum overlapped pin group in response to the global tolerance failing to satisfy a predetermined threshold. The method further includes fabricating a mask based on the increased length of the at least one pin.

摘要: A method of generating a layout of an IC includes identifying a target pin in a first cell in an IC layout, the first cell being adjacent to a second cell and sharing a boundary with the second cell, and determining whether or not the target pin is capable of being extended into the second cell. Based on a determination that the target pin is capable of being extended into the second cell, the target pin is modified to include an extension into the second cell, the target pin thereby crossing the shared boundary. At least one of the identifying, determining, or modifying is executed by a processor of a computer.
