摘要: In some embodiments, a first cell layout and a second cell layout are provided and combined into a third cell layout. Each of the first cell layout and the second cell layout includes a higher power line, a lower power line, an output pin, at least one up transistor and at least one down transistor formed to electrically couple the output pin to the higher power line and the output pin to the lower power line, respectively. The at least one up transistor and the at least one down transistor of the second cell layout include a gate line. For the combining, the gate line is non-selectively electrically coupled to the output pin of the first cell layout to form a first node. A design layout in which the third cell layout is used at different locations is generated.

摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method comprises determining a dimensional quantity of a layout pattern having an angle relative to grid lines of a minimum grid. The minimum grid may be defined by a first quantity associated with a first direction and a second quantity associated with a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The determination of the dimensional quantity of the layout pattern is based on the first quantity, the second quantity and the angle of the layout pattern relative to the grid lines of the minimum grid.

摘要: A system includes a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon. The system further includes a processor connected to the non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor is configured to execute the instruction for comparing a size of a via pillar structure of a first layout pattern of a plurality of layout patterns with a size of a via pillar structure of a second layout pattern of the plurality of layout patterns, wherein each of the plurality of layout patterns meets an electromigration (EM) rule. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions for replacing, in a layout design, the first layout pattern with the second layout pattern in response to the size of the via pillar structure of the second layout pattern being less than the size of the via pillar structure of the first layout pattern.

摘要: In examples described herein, methods for via pillar placement and an integrated circuit design including a via pillar are described. In some instances, a path within an integrated circuit or proposed integrated circuit design can be identified as having negative slack. In such instances, in particular where the path includes a fanout to input pins of receivers, a via pillar can be inserted at a location prior to fanout of the path. The via pillar can be inserted, for example, proximate to the fanout, but between the fanout and an output pin of a driver that is connected to the path.

摘要: A logic cell structure includes a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. The first portion, arranged to be a first layout of a first semiconductor element, is placed in a first cell row of a substrate area extending in a first direction. The second portion, arranged to be a second layout of a second semiconductor element, is placed in a second cell row of the substrate area. The third portion is arranged to be a third layout of an interconnecting path used for coupling the first semiconductor element and the second semiconductor element. The first, second and third portions are bounded by a bounding box with a height in a second direction and a width in the first direction. Respective centers of the first portion and the second portion are arranged in a third direction different from each of the first direction and the second direction.
