    Abstract: A method (of manufacturing a semiconductor device) includes: migrating a circuit design from a first netlist corresponding with a first semiconductor process technology (SPT) to a second netlist corresponding with a second SPT, at least the second netlist being stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the migrating including: generating first versions correspondingly of the first and second netlists; abstracting selected components in the first version of the second netlist and correspondingly in the first version of the second netlist to form corresponding second versions of the second and first netlists; performing a logic equivalence check (LEC) between the second versions of the first and second netlists, thereby identifying migration errors; and revising the second version of the second netlist to reduce the migration errors, thereby resulting in a third version of the second netlist.

    Abstract: Electronic system level (ESL) design and verification of the present disclosure is utilized to provide an electronic simulation and modeling of function safety and fault management of an electronic device. A method for simulating a safety circuit includes providing an electronic architectural design to perform one or more functional behaviors of the electronic device in accordance with an electronic design specification. The method further includes modeling the safety circuit of the electronic architectural design and one or more other electronic circuits of the electronic architectural design that communicate with the safety circuit. The method further includes simulating, using the modeling, operation of the safety circuit while the electronic architectural design is performing the one or more functional behaviors. The method also includes determining whether the simulated operation of the safety circuit satisfies the electronic design specification.

    Abstract: A method of operating a memory circuit is disclosed. The memory circuit comprises a primary memory and a cache memory. The primary memory has P access channels of Q bits of channel bandwidth, and the cache memory has P subsets of Q*N memory cells, wherein P and Q are integers greater than 1, and N is a positive integer. The method includes determining, in response to a command for reading first and second data accessible through first and second access channels respectively, if a valid duplication of the first and second data is stored in the cache memory. If yes, the method further includes storing a duplication of Q*n bits of consecutively addressed data from each of the first and second access channels to the cache memory, n being an integer from 1 to N. Otherwise, the method further includes outputting the first and second data from the cache memory.

    Abstract: A system and method for designing integrated circuits is disclosed. An embodiment comprises placing a standard cell with a first cell height into a cell row with a different height. The standard cell may have a height smaller than the cell row or else may have a height that is larger than the cell row. Vertical fillers and horizontal fillers are utilized to extend and connect the standard cell to adjacent cells without having to redesign the entire cell row.
