摘要: A method in certain embodiments includes using a computer system that includes an EDA tool to generate a layout of an IC device; searching, using a statistical method such as Bayesian optimization process, for one or more input variable parameters, such as the dimensions of the IC device and the dimensions of the voltage areas in the IC device, that results in an optimal characteristic, such as power, performance or area (PPA) of the IC device, subject to a limiting condition, such as one determined using a cost function. A computer system including one or more EDAs configured to perform the method is also disclosed.

摘要: A clock distribution system includes a clock mesh structure which has a plurality of first metal patterns extending along a first axis, a plurality of second metal patterns extending along a second axis, a plurality of third metal patterns extending along a third axis. The plurality of first metal patterns, the plurality of second metal patterns, and the plurality of third metal patterns are electrically coupled with each other. The second axis is transverse to the first axis. The third axis is oblique to both the first axis and the second axis.

摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a substrate, and a cell over the substrate. The cell includes at least one active region and at least one gate region extending across the at least one active region. The cell further includes at least one input/output (IO) pattern configured to electrically couple one or more of the at least one active region and the at least one gate region to external circuitry outside the cell. The at least one IO pattern extends obliquely to both the at least one active region and the at least one gate region.

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 method for laying out a target pattern includes assigning a keep-out zone to an end of a first feature within a target pattern, and positioning other features such that ends of the other features of the target pattern do not have an end within the keep-out zone. The target pattern is to be formed with a corresponding main feature and cut pattern.

摘要: The routing of conductors in the conductor layers in an integrated circuit are routed using mixed-Manhattan-diagonal routing. Various techniques are disclosed for selecting a conductor scheme for the integrated circuit prior to fabrication of the integrated circuit. Techniques are also disclosed for determining the supply and/or the demand for the edges in the mixed-Manhattan-diagonal routing.
