20110140278 | OPTICAL PROXIMITY CORRECTION AWARE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGN OPTIMIZATION - An EDA method is implemented for modifying a layout file after place and route. The method includes storing a library of shape modifications for cells in the design library used for implementation of the circuit. The library of shape modifications includes the results of process-specific calibration of the shape modifications which indicate adjustment of a circuit parameter caused by applying the shape modifications to the cells. The layout file is analyzed to identify a cell for adjustment of the circuit parameter. A shape modification calibrated to achieve the desired adjustment is selected from the library. The shape modification is applied to the identified cell in the layout file to produce a modified layout file. The modified layout file can be used for tape out, and subsequently for manufacturing of an improved integrated circuit. | 06-16-2011 |
20110231811 | MODELING OF CELL DELAY CHANGE FOR ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION - An integrated circuit design optimization procedure to modify a cell feature, such as gate length, models changes in delay as a result of the modification.

20120131531 | Reducing Leakage Power in Integrated Circuit Designs - A method for reducing leakage power of an IC during the design of the IC. A cell based IC design is received that includes a plurality of signal paths with positive slack. The positive slack is converted to negative slack by replacing cell instances in the IC design with footprint equivalent variants of the cell instances. The negative slack is converted back to positive slack via an iterative path-based analysis of the IC design. In each iteration, a path is selected that has negative slack and replacement values are computed for cell instances in the path. One or more cell instances in the path are then replaced with variants based on the replacement values. | 05-24-2012 |
