    摘要: A system for designing an integrated circuit generates a schematic of the integrated circuit based on a set of system design rule constraints. The system also receives a proposed device array layout from a device array design module. The device array design module is configured to generate the proposed device array layout free from the set of system design rule constraints. The system further generates a revised schematic of the integrated circuit including the proposed device array layout. The system additionally determines if the revised schematic violates one or more of the system design rule constraints.

    摘要: A method of modeling an integrated circuit comprises generating a schematic of an integrated circuit comprising a first circuit component. The schematic comprises a first representation of the first circuit component. The method also comprises replacing the first representation with a second representation of the first circuit component. The second representation includes resistive capacitance information (RC) for the first circuit component. The RC information is based on first RC data included in a process design kit (PDK) file and second RC data included in a macro device file. The second RC data is based on a relationship between the first circuit component and a second circuit component. The method further comprises selectively coloring the second representation of the first circuit component in the schematic based on the RC information. The coloring of the second representation is indicative of whether the integrated circuit is in compliance with a design specification.

    摘要: A system for designing an integrated circuit includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the system to receive a proposed device array layout from a device array design module. The device array design module is configured to generate the proposed device array layout free from a set of system design rule constraints. The system is also caused to revise a schematic of the integrated circuit including the proposed device array layout. The system is further caused to determine whether the revised schematic violates one or more system design rule constraints.

    摘要: A method of designing a fin field effect transistor (FinFET)-based circuit includes designing, using a processor, a first circuit schematic design based on a performance specification, the first circuit schematic design is free of artificial elements, wherein the artificial elements are used to simulate electrical performance of the FinFET-based circuit. The method further includes modifying, using the processor, at least one device within the first circuit schematic design to form a second circuit schematic design taking the artificial elements into consideration. The method further includes performing a pre-layout simulation using the second circuit schematic and taking the artificial elements into consideration. The method further includes generating a layout, wherein the layout does not take the artificial elements into consideration, and performing a post-layout simulation, wherein the post-layout simulation does not take the artificial elements into consideration.
