TOPIC AREA: PHYSICAL CIRCUIT DESIGN | ||
| SESSION 13 | |||
| Methods for a Priori Feasible Layout Generation | |||
| Chair: K. S. (Hardy) Leung - Magma Design Automation, Inc., Santa Clara, CA | |||
| Organizers: Charles J. Alpert, Dirk Stroobandt, Raymond Nijssen | |||
| This session combines methods that demonstrate the effectiveness of a priori-correct layout generation. The first paper addresses this by modeling the effects of modern lithography so as to avoid routing patterns complicating optical proximity correction. The following three papers focus on a topic of great interest: regular fabrics for improved manufacturing yield and cost. These papers successfully narrow the flexibility gap between regular and structured ASICs. The final paper discusses improved layout predictability through more accurate pre-layout standard cell characterization. | |||
