    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method, and more particularly to a semiconductor interposer device. The semiconductor interposer device includes a substrate and a first metallization layer formed on the substrate. A first dielectric layer is formed on the first metallization layer and a second metallization layer is formed on the substrate. A first conducting line is formed in the first metallization layer and second and third conducting lines are formed in the second metallization layer. A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor is formed in the first dielectric layer and over the first conducting line. The MIM capacitor includes (i) a top capacitor electrode in the first dielectric layer and electrically coupled to the second conducting line; (ii) a bottom capacitor electrode in the first dielectric layer and above the first conducting line, wherein the bottom capacitor electrode is configured to be electrically floating; and (iii) a second dielectric layer between the top and bottom capacitor electrodes.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments for multiple standard cell libraries are disclosed that include one or more standard cells and one or more corresponding standard cell variations. The one or more standard cell variations have similar functionality as their one or more standard cells but are different from their one or more standard cells in terms of geometric shapes, locations of the geometric shapes, and/or interconnections between the geometric shapes. The exemplary systems and methods described herein selectively choose from among the one or more standard cells and/or the one or more standard cell variations to form an electronic architectural design for analog circuitry and/or digital circuitry of an electronic device. In an exemplary embodiment, a semiconductor foundry and/or semiconductor technology node can impose one or more electronic design constraints on the placement of the one or more standard cells onto an electronic device design real estate. In some situations, some of the one or more standard cells are unable to satisfy the one or more electronic design constraints when placed onto the electronic device design real estate. In these situations, the one or more standard cell variations corresponding to these standard cells are placed onto the electronic device design real estate.

    Abstract: A method for analyzing an IC design, comprises: using a computer implemented electronic design automation tool to perform a parasitic RC extraction for a layout of the IC design, the parasitic RC extraction outputting for each of a plurality of routing paths, a nominal capacitive coupling, a minimum capacitive coupling and a maximum capacitive coupling, where the minimum and maximum capacitive couplings correspond to circuit patterning in the presence of double patterning mask misalignments; and performing one of a setup time analysis or a hold time analysis of the IC design using a computer implemented static timing analysis tool. For a given flip-flop having a launch path and a capture path, the setup or hold time analysis is performed using the minimum capacitive coupling for one of the launch and capture paths and the maximum capacitive coupling for the other of the launch and capture paths.

    Abstract: A device, such as a computer system, includes an interconnection device die and at least two additional device dice. The additional device dies can be system on integrated chip (SOIC) dies laying face to face (F2F) on the interconnection device die. The interconnection device die includes electrical connectors on one surface, enabling connection to and/or among the additional device dice. The interconnection device die includes at least one redistribution circuit structure, which may be an integrated fan out (InFO) structure, and at least one through-silicon via (TSV). The TSV enables connection between a signal line, power line or ground line, from an opposite surface of the interconnection device die to the redistribution circuit structure and/or electrical connectors. At least one of the additional dice can be a three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) die with face to back (F2B) stacking.

    Abstract: A method for circuit design includes a parasitic aware library embedded with one or more parameterized cells. The parasitic aware library is used to insert nets representing some but not all parasitic effects of a circuit into a circuit schematic enabling a single circuit schematic to be used for simulation of the circuit, parasitic verification of the circuit and LVS (Layout Versus Schematic) check. Only the single circuit schematic is required for the circuit design process and to form a mask set. Critical paths of the single circuit schematic are identified and parasitic effects are extracted and inserted into the schematic, enabling a pre-estimation of parasitic verification to be carried out and the LVS check to be carried out using a circuit schematic with some parasitic effects prior to the post-layout simulation in which all parasitic components of the layout are included.
