    摘要: The present invention discloses a system for reducing a leakage current of an integrated circuit coupled to a supply voltage source. The system includes a bias module, and a switch device serially coupled between the bias module and the integrated circuit. The bias module generates a bias voltage and the switch device is turned off for reducing the leakage current of the integrated circuit when the integrated circuit is in a sleep mode.

    摘要: A method of designing integrated circuits includes providing a design of an integrated circuit at a first scale, wherein the integrated circuit includes a shrinkable circuit including a first intellectual property (IP); and a non-shrinkable circuit including a second IP having a hierarchical structure. A marker layer is formed to cover the non-shrinkable circuit, wherein the shrinkable circuit is not covered by the marker layer. The electrical performance of the non-shrinkable circuit is simulated using a simulation tool, wherein the simulated non-shrinkable circuit is at a second scale smaller than the first scale.

    摘要: A method of designing a double patterning mask set for a layout of a chip includes designing standard cells. In each of the standard cells, all left-boundary patterns are assigned with one of a first indicator and a second indicator, and all right-boundary patterns are assigned with an additional one of the first indicator and the second indicator. The method further includes placing the standard cells in a row of the layout of the chip. Starting from one of the standard cells in the row, indicator changes to the standard cells are propagated throughout the row. All patterns in the standard cells having the first indicator are transferred to a first mask of the double patterning mask set. All patterns in the standard cells having the second indicator are transferred to a second mask of the double patterning mask set.
