    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method to increase breakdown voltage of a power device. A power device is formed on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer made up of a device wafer, a handle wafer, and an intermediate oxide layer. A recess is formed in a lower surface of the handle wafer to define a recessed region of the handle wafer. The recessed region of the handle wafer has a first handle wafer thickness, which is greater than zero. An un-recessed region of the handle wafer has a second handle wafer thickness, which is greater than the first handle wafer thickness. The first handle wafer thickness of the recessed region provides a breakdown voltage improvement for the power device.

    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a method of designing an integrated circuit layout. In this method, a plurality of design shapes are provided on different design layers over an active area within a graphical representation of the layout. A connection extends perpendicularly between a first design shape formed on a first design layer and a second design shape formed on the first design layer. First and second cut mask shapes on first and second cut mask design layers, respectively, are generated. The first cut shape removes portions of the first design layer and the second cut shape removes portions of the second design layer.

    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a method of hierarchical layout design, comprising forming a layout of an integrated circuit (IC) according to a design rule that specifies a minimum design rule distance between a neighboring layout features within the IC. Forming the layout comprises forming first and second standard cells having first and second layout features, respectively, that about one-another so that a distance between the first and second layout features is less than the minimum design rule distance. The method further comprises configuring design rule checking (DRC) to ignore this fail. Instead, the layout is modified with an automated layout tool by merging the first and second layout features, or by removing a portion of the first or second layout feature to increase the distance between the first and second layout features to be greater than or equal to the minimum distance.
