摘要： A method, system and program product for migrating an integrated circuit (IC) design from a source technology without radical design restrictions (RDR) to a target technology with RDR, are disclosed. The invention implements a minimum layout perturbation approach that addresses the RDR requirements. The invention also solves the problem of inserting dummy shapes where required, and extending the lengths of the critical shapes and/or the dummy shapes to meet ‘edge coverage’ requirements.

摘要： Methods, systems and program products are disclosed for selectively scaling an integrated circuit (IC) design: by layer, by unit, or by ground rule, or a combination of these. The selective scaling technique can be applied in a feedback loop with the manufacturing system with process and yield feedback, during the life of a design, to increase yield in early processes in such a way that hierarchy is preserved. The invention removes the need to involve designers in improving yield where new technologies such as maskless fabrication are implemented.

摘要： A method, system and program product for merging cloned and original circuit shapes such that a union thereof does not include a notch. The invention determines, for a cell including an original circuit shape and at least one overlapping clone of the original circuit shape, whether each clone corner point of each overlapping clone is within a threshold distance of a corresponding original corner point of the original circuit shape; and generates, in the case that each clone corner point of each overlapping clone circuit shape is within a threshold distance, a union of each overlapping clone and the original circuit shape such that the union does not contain a notch. The union is generated using a point code that sets a new position for a union corner point to remove a notch based on the original shape's direction and the edge orientations previous to and next to the corner point.

摘要： A method (300) and system (500) for optimizing a circuit layout based on layout constraints (308) and objectives (312). The method includes solving a linear program so as to obtain a rational solution whose variables are either whole or half integer. The tight constraints and objectives involving variables whose solution are a half integer are reduced to a 2-SAT problem, which is analyzed to determine its satisfiability. If the 2-SAT problem is not satisfiable, one or more objectives are removed so as to make the 2-SAT problem satisfiable. Any half-integer results of the linear program are rounded according to the truth assignment that satisfies the 2-SAT problem. The rounded results are used to create the circuit layout.

摘要： A method, system and program product that implements area minimization of a circuit design while respecting the explicit and implicit design constraints, in the form of ground rules and user intent. A longest path algorithm is used to generate a scaling factor. The scaling factor is used to reduce the size of the circuit design to the minimum legal size. The scaling may be followed by application of minpert analysis to correct any errors introduced by the scaling. The resulting design is shrunk (or expanded) with all elements shrinking (or growing) together by the same factor, and with the relative relationships of elements maintained. In addition, the invention is operational in the presence of a positive cycle, can be run with scaling that freezes the sizes of any structure or ground rule, and can be applied to technology migration.
